As far as college football is concerned, that eliminates the one week in late July during which campuses were opened up for visits, per legislation that went into effect a year ago.

It would be premature to say that the lack of a Cookout unquestionably hurts Clemson with a specific target, as the Tigers didn’t get as far as formally inviting anyone because of its expected cancellation.
