UNDATED (AP) — The commissioners of the major college football conferences have told Vice President Mike Pence college sports cannot return from the coronavirus shutdown until campuses have re-opened. Ten commissioners and the athletic director of Notre Dame, comprise the College Football Playoff management committee.

Major sporting events have been called off and colleges have moved classes online.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Oklahoma transfer Trey Sermon is expected to add depth to Ohio State's injury-ravaged running back corps. Sermon is a graduate transfer whose season was cut short by a knee injury after nine games last year. Buckeyes coach Ryan Day says he thinks Sermon will be in line to contribute if and when fall camp starts. Ohio State has two returning running backs who are recovering from injuries — Master Teague III and Marcus Crowley. Teague suffered an Achilles injury on the first day of spring practice, before it was called off entirely because of the coronavirus pandemic.
