Here are the 12 D1 schools who have opted out of spring football.

That's strange how only one from the Big Sky Conference chose not to play. I haven't heard of any outbreaks of great(er) proportion in the Sacramento area. It must strictly be a money thing because their conference rivals Cal Davis and Cal Poly SLO aren't on that list. Too bad for the Hornets, they were coming off a really good season (2nd place in a 13 team conference for football).

The Boston Marathon which was cancelled earlier this year due to Covid-19 had been postponed for 2021. The Boston Athletic Association said Wednesday that it won't hold the race as scheduled in April because of the pandemic. Organizers say it will be put off "at least until the fall of 2021."

Boston likely won't return until 2022. I think some of the other big marathons will happen in 2021, especially those that are normally in the fall, such as New York

NCAA is planning a one city bubble for the Big Dance due to Covid-19 concerns. Makes a lot of sense to me since the NHL did a great job with their bubble and the NBA did pretty good as well.
