Let's assume a couple of things for the moment:
It is looking increasingly likely the rest of this school year will be lost. Assume that occurs.
Let's also assume some portion of the summer is lost as well - this too seems highly likely.
IF AAA is thinking about the benefit of the student AND school starts on time (August 2020), AAA should cancel the first 3-4 weeks of the season and allow for workouts, conditioning, etc - and then have only conference games played.
There was a time before all of this summer stuff - before 7on7s and team camps and everything else. I think kids will be fine. I do think zero week was a bad idea and should be tossed, IMO. That has nothing to do with this virus, though. I think as long as practice can start, as scheduled, and school starts, as scheduled, then the season can move forward without issue. I understand how most schools operate during the summer, but I believe we all need to recognize that not ALL schools operate in that manner. You'd be shocked how little some programs / athletes do over the summer and still manage to win games in the fall.
What I expect to see is schools with consistency to be successful - not as much install, etc. Teams with new coaches are looking at essentially a lost year. Huge turnover in the spring of 2021, as I imagine job movement has ended in 2020.
