    Context: The South Dakota increase is due a packing plant that wouldn't have been closed by a stay-at-home order anyway.

    The plant voluntarily closed.

    That means bye bye spring preps in Texas. (An announcement that should have been made weeks ago.)

    Colorado spring sports only canceled until April 30 even though several districts are closed for the academic year. Not gonna happen. Put the focus on the fall and keep your fingers crossed there's a football season. I grow more doubtful every day.

    When this virus starts decimating SEC states, maybe then folks there will start to realize there aren't going to be any spectator sports for the rest of this year. I'd love to be wrong, but I don't think I am.

    The Arkansas governor was asked about football season today. He said he didn't think anybody would be comfortable sitting in a stadium with 60,000 others.

    I'm surprised they haven't cancelled the spring season here. Too many districts have called it to really make it happen anyway. And CHSAA has said no to a summer season. So just call it.

    I agree fall is up in the air but too much uncertainty to really say. I'm interested in the summer. My third grader does a couple of semi competitive sports. One spring season is still holding out hope to play, maybe even in the summer. The baseball club has sort of tried to mimic CHSAA but now that their season looks unlikely has gone to county, state and school district choices. Hands are going to be tied all around by those three. Parks are closed for sure until May and the school fields until June.

    And it's the biggest districts in the state, Denver, Jefferson County, in the Springs, Fort Collins. Boulder hasn't yet, but my sister, whose kids are in the district, said that's more a function to have an option to keep them open for high at-risk kids. But she's expecting her three to be at home through the rest of this school year.

    So, yeah, no idea what CHSAA is clinging onto. Schools end in May here. Start focusing on the fall and what that could -- and could not -- look like.
