To add to this, does anyone have much faith that college coaching staffs can collectively manage any of this?
What 3rd party is going to monitor that tests are taken, that they are secured per privacy guidelines, that if a player tests positive he is quarantined, that said player follows quarantine guidelines prior to returning, etc., etc.
There's just too many moving pieces. I have little faith a big program is going to have a must win game (to hypothetically get them in the playoffs), see their QB test positive and actually hold that player out if the school is in charge of the testing.
This isn't even a name names thing.....I'd image 99% of coaches are just letting that kid play, which is inherently the problem. I really don't understand this from a players' perspective either. Certainly there is a competitive aspect but unless there is a ridiculously thorough and funded plan, I can't imagine a football season (relative to current infection rates in certain parts of the US), would be anything but a disaster.......and many of these guys are then jeopardizing their NFL futures to play for free w/ a virus that can cause heart damage. It seems really short sighted.
