They could simply look to other leagues who have done this successfully. Or, more broadly, other countries who have done well to mitigate and contain the virus, some of whom are now even allowing fans back at games.
I agree with your points re: Unionization. However, the smart and safe call is to cancel the season regardless of the other NCAA-related politics BS.
No league has done what the NCAA is attempting to do. And where would they look? An NBA-type bubble is not possible. The MLB looks bad and their season could very well collapse. The NFL hasn't started yet. And the leagues operating internationally have the supreme advantage of existing in countries that understood how to respond to the pandemic and don't deal with our daily catastrophic numbers.
There's just too many variables IMO. The pandemic is going far too poorly here and it just seems like needless risk for kids who aren't even getting paid.
