So, what is going to happen to the freshmen?

I'm optimistic about schools opening in the fall. There are many reasons to think so, and Dr. Scott Atlas always has a sound and reasoned response regarding covid-19 and the lockdowns.

Dr. Atlas on coronavirus lockdowns: 'The policy ... is killing people'

Coronavirus lockdowns may be "killing" just as many people as the virus because many people with serious conditions unrelated to the virus have been skipping treatment, Hoover Institution senior fellow Dr. Scott Atlas said Saturday on "Fox Report."

I don't see an issue. Season doesn't technically start until October, and with the Connecticut Covid-19 trends looking good I would expect UConn to reopen for the fall semester. The real question now is what happens towards the end of the semester with schools ending semesters early to clear out the campus before a second wave hits. Hopefully the NCAA is working on contingency plans for disruptions to the season.

The problem is that if the corona virus follows the flu cycle, November will be the start of a renewed outbreak. If a vaccination actually will be available in December, I can see a deferral of the season until January. Basically, just go with your conference schedule. That's just speculation on my part though.

Professional golfers from many countries will be allowed into the U.S. soon. This may be a sign that amateur athletes will be allowed in as well later on.

Considering that foreign students account for over 5% (1,000,000+) of all higher education students in the U.S., there is a pretty strong financial incentive to allow all of them back into the country. Of particular interest is one young lady from Poland and a second from Croatia. I would expect that colleges will coordinate quarantine requirements with US Customs.
