The season is months away. There is no reason this decision needs to be made now. The board has other things to worry about.
A County Health board. Yawn. Who wants to take bet's on how many board members are on the stop Ames growth non-sense as well?
No fall athletics would likely kill the Athletic department. A ton of sports would end up on the chopping block. I don't think broadcast revenue would be enough to support football, let alone the other sports.
I'd bet that question has been asked on more than one campus...Couldn't the ISU Foundation find some money somewhere in their 1.3 billion dollar endowment to save the athletic department from one disastrous year?

And 40 to 45 days is a ton of time in a fluid situation. If the state of Iowa makes the same progress in the next 45 days it has in the previous it will be hard to justify shutting things down at that point. My point remains, this is not a decision that needs or should be made now. The AD has taken measures to prepare and they are in a good spot to wait and see.The health board has bigger things to worry about than a series of events of the kind known to be the highest risk for community virus spread?
And no, we are 75 days out from the first game. We are about 40-45 days from when tix normally ship out. Look at every other event that's been cancelled this year. These decisions are usually made a couple months in advance due to vendors, ticket shipping, etc. The decision on fans at ISU football this fall will probably come within the next month i'd imagine.
