Podcast: What is the probability of football in 2020?

By Dr. Ed Feng Leave a Comment

With the ongoing pandemic, there is no certainty that college football and the NFL happen in the fall of 2020. Paul Schulz of the University of Michigan, a researcher in population dynamics, joins me to forecast the likelihood of the sport.

Among other topics, we discuss:

  • How COVID-19 is progressing in the United States (4:37)
  • The numbers Paul consults to track the disease (9:23)
  • How heterogeneity of the pandemic will affect football (15:37)
  • The probability of college football this fall (21:56)
  • The probability of the NFL this fall (29:43)

On the show, I discuss my video on exponential growth and my personal story with COVID-19. To check it out, click here.
