West Virginia's season opener against Eastern Kentucky on Sept. 12 will be held without fans because of the coronavirus pandemic. Athletic director Shane Lyons said Thursday that the goal is "to have fans at Milan Puskar Stadium this season, but right now that is not possible." The school said in a statement that only essential game operations personnel and families of the players and football staff will be allowed to attend. West Virginia's Big 12 home opener is Oct. 3 against Baylor. In-person classes at West Virginia start Aug. 26 for freshmen, graduate and some professional students, while upperclassmen will start classwork online. Masks must be worn on campus. The Big 12, ACC and SEC are among six FBS leagues proceeding with plans to play this fall. The Big Ten and Pac-12 abandoned their fall seasons.
