A return to football normalcy relies on widespread vaccinations, Texas Southern coach says
And head coach Clarence McKinney understands that the road back to some semblance of normalcy in college football, and in society, rests on the strength and effectiveness of the current vaccine campaign.
Entering the final week of the regular season, the Tigers have played just two of its five scheduled games either by opponents being impacted by the virus or in-house spread within the program.
Ahead of a matchup with SWAC West champion Arkansas-Pine Bluff that holds conference championship game implications, McKinney indicated that the majority of the team was affected by the coronavirus.
