We playin’ college football this fall? What about college hoops? It’s the daily question on our minds at Deceptive Speed and yours as well. Our daily updates will go up every morning, bringing you the latest coronavirus sports news and data.
After Monday’s firestorm of coronavirus news and optimism flying around from every sports league, it’s quieted down a little throughout the week. Not a whole lot of opinions came out from other sports, but here are some of the latest rumblings on college football:

Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly says the athletic department is talking about moving its first game of the season.
Iowa State head coach gives his best-case scenario for the college football season.
Clemson cancels classes through August 7, but that doesn’t mean athletes cannot come back earlier.
ESPN’s Laura Rutledge says she’s hearing a possible June return to college campuses.
