Hokies practicing with an eye on COVID concerns
Easy to see how much this is weighing on him. Also interesting that - as Big Ten coaches begin to push back on their conference's decision not to play - Fuente gives the impression that he almost wishes he didn't feel forced into playing by the fact that the ACC will go on.
I don't think he'd say it's irresponsible from a pandemic perspective (nor that he wouldn't say it), but it's adding a lot of stress, worry about his kids, and injury risk to his program. He'll do the job because it's the job, but the ancillary stuff is making this really tough for everyone.
