IOWA CITY — Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz says there is no way to plan for an eventual return to campus and the field for workouts. The Hawkeyes were one of the teams who had not even started spring practice when spring seasons were cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Ferentz says planning for the immediate future is just a waste of time right now.

Ferentz says he has thought about the possibility of not having a football season.

Iowa is scheduled to host Northern Iowa in the season opener on September 5th.
