Notre Dame is starting classes, with students on campus on August 10. The semester will end before Thanksgiving. There will be no Fall Break. Ensuring that football returns this Fall played a role in this change to the calendar. Would expect other schools to follow a similar path because: a) it allows school to start when the virus expected to be bottoming out; b) provides a cushion of time in December for an online curriculum if there is a spike in the Fall causing to campus to close; c) campus will be closed in December when the flu season nears its peak; d) most importantly, it allows football to start as planned, without dealing with the "sports should not be played if students aren't on campus" issue.

The Irish will be playing football on September 26 against our Deacs.
Well I mean, unless Wake (or the ACC) cancels football this fall...
