Brian Kemp took some time yesterday to appear on Finebaum’s show, where he did a little pundit work.
By the way, does anybody seriously doubt how quickly NIL legislation would pass and be signed into law if Georgia needed to keep up with Florida? But I digress.
Anyway, more relevantly, given the NCAA’s announcement yesterday, he was asked about the prospects for the season opening on time.
The governor, a die-hard Bulldog fan, told The Paul Finebaum Show on Wednesday that it’s too early to tell whether Georgia’s season opening game against Virginia on Labor Day will open before a “packed house or a sparse crowd or no crowd at all.”
“I know everybody wants to have a crowd there,” Kemp said of the game. “I would urge people to continue to follow the guidance so we can drive these numbers down so that we can do that.”
… Kemp said fans can expect a “new norm” when they return to sports stadiums.
“I’m reserving judgment now, but believe me: I’m an optimist, and I want to see that happen if it’s at all possible. We’ll try to be working with folks to do that if it makes sense from a public health standpoint.”
I’m guessing what makes sense to Gary Stokan might not make the same sense to me, but what do I know?
Let’s see what makes sense to y’all. Reader poll time!
Feel free to elaborate in the comments.
