Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said on ESPN’s Get Up that he and «darn near every guy I’ve talked to on our team» would be OK with playing in stadiums without fans.
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said he would be comfortable playing games in empty stadiums as college football attempts to hold the 2020 season amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Other sports, including Major League Baseball, the NBA and NHL, have discussed returning to play games in front of no fans, and Harbaugh was asked about that scenario Wednesday during an interview with ESPN’s Get Up.
«Heck yeah, I’d be comfortable coaching a game without any fans,» Harbaugh said. «If the choice were play in front of no fans or not play, then I would choose to play in front of no fans.
«… Darn near every guy I’ve talked to on our team, that’s the way they feel about it.»
Harbaugh made multiple references to the need for testing for his players and staff.
