Pessimism grows in college football over season starting on time (update: it’s crumbling):

[BlueDogs]

Do you expect during the season that athletes would...
- Never leave campus
- Never interact with a non-athlete on campus
- Never go to a physical class with other students who've left campus
- Never come into contact with a staff member who was off-campus

And coaches would...
- Never go home to their families
- Never leave campus
- Never interact with anyone outside campus
- Never interact with anyone on campus who has been off campus

You can't create a "bubble" on a campus like the NBA and NHL are doing. I'm not saying college sports can't be played, but your simplistic views are wildly inaccurate.

What is inaccurate is your underlying premise. It’s inconsistent with the known science of transmission and it’s lethality. It’s about limiting interaction, social distancing, wearing masks, and following hygiene protocols. If there is suspected or verified exposure, strict quarantine can be imposed. Weekly testing will ensure they isolate cases. If contracted, the effects are negligible for the vast, vast percentage in that age cohort. Under your theory there should be no students on campus either. The risk of exposure and spread is at least 100x greater, literally, but somehow we will be allowing that.

Football, not a debate on covid or politics.
