Quote:"Our medical advisory group has said, 'Yes, we can continue to go forward,'" Sankey said on the "Dan Patrick Show" on Tuesday, according to Josh Kendall of The Athletic. "Should that advice change, that would certainly be a stopping point."
Sankey added, "We haven't made a final decision, but we have set a start date. I would be encouraged by that."
He also said fans have a role to play in whether the upcoming college football campaign will proceed.
"It is abundantly important in our part of the country that the college football fans are part of solving the health problem ... masks, hygiene, social distancing," Sankey said, per Dave Matter of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
