While they were blunt about how difficult it will be, Emmert and NCAA chief medical officer Brian Hainline did express hope that schools can find a way to comply with mandates.
, Emmert said during Friday’s interview: “We may well see more as they look at the requirements that the Board put in place and determinations that they just can't conduct sports in a way that that would be consistent with those guidelines given resources or their localities because of this hot-spot phenomenon” with COVID-19.“We're all really hopeful that can be done,” Emmert said. “Obviously, everybody wants to have kids back on campus. Everybody wants fall sports to return.
Hainline said the NCAA’s medical advisory panel, and the national experts with whom that group has been consulting, have at least been able to chart what they believe is a road map to play.
University of Kentucky president Eli Capilouto, a member of the Board of Governors, talked during Friday's interview about the numerous steps his school has taken in an effort to have the student body return to campus for fall classes. When it comes to sports, he said: “We're realistic about what we're facing. And I agree with Brian that it is a narrow path.”
However, Capilouto — who has a doctorate in health policy and management from Harvard — added: “Let's not give up on this generation . Someone told me this morning that in World War II, there were some British engineers who had an expression that says, ‘We can do it, whether it can be done or not.’ And I hope our students give us that kind of attitude.
“We're hopeful that those things work. But we also know that there are going to be cases that occur. We know there will be outbreaks in some situations and that it becomes a matter of how quickly you respond, how quickly you can isolate the problem and quarantine individuals if you can continue to operate your campus.”
