Michigan won't play football -- or any sport -- in 2020 unless students are on campus this fall, university president Mark Schlissel told The Wall Street Journal.

Schlissel, a physician, said he expects to decide soon whether students will return to campus amid the recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. And Schlissel went a step further, saying what happens this fall likely will last throughout the academic year.
