>>On-field football activities with coaches present can begin Saturday, with UConn’s first date of competition currently set for Sept. 3, while the basketball teams can start on-court coach-supervised activities July 20. The women’s basketball team is planning on convening in Storrs the last week of July.<<

Meanwhile Sweden seems to be approaching herd immunity. If you don't know Sweden took a mostly hands off let the virus do what it does approach.

Sweden's coronavirus death toll is now approaching zero, but experts are warning others not to hail it as a success

Sweden's coronavirus deaths have fallen to close to zero. It previously had one of the highest death rates in the world.

Not looking for a prolonged debate in this thread because it’ll drag it way off-topic but the article you posted states otherwise;

>>Sweden did not achieve immunity, far from it - Many in Sweden argued that its plan would allow its population to achieve "herd immunity."

But that's not even close to being achieved: Tegnell said in June that "the trends in immunity have been surprisingly slow." One study then showed 6.1% of Sweden's population had developed antibodies by late May.

It's the same for other countries, where only a small proportion of the population appear to have achieved the immunity, and experts say immunity may not even last that long.

Experts say the small build-up of immunity may be a minor factor in the fall in deaths, but not enough to dramatically drive numbers down.<<

The most interesting part of these numbers as it relates to football/sports is how dramatically things have improved in Sweden in one month. This is why there is no need to cancel any sports just yet, let this thing play out a few more weeks and hope for the best. Maybe a 9 game schedule starting in October is the way to go, that seems to be the plan for the B1G and PAC.
