My fear was that, especially on college campuses in states, to put it delicately, without much political pressure to follow COVID guidelines, was that once fans were allowed in the stands they'd all migrate down to the good seats, and TPTB either couldn't or wouldn't police the matter to enforce distancing.
That so far doesn't appear to have happened, with the exception of the fans rushing the field in South Bend.
The fact that we've had a lot of games cancelled isn't all that surprising when you recognize that these players aren't in anything approaching a true "bubble" and that the organizations (players+coaches+trainers+support staff) are enormous.
About all you can say at this point is that it hasn't gone swimmingly, and that it hasn't quite been a shitshow.
Although I really wish the B1G had started earlier when the weather was better. I think everyone saw that COVID didn't disappear over the summer and assumed there's no seasonality, and I think we're seeing now that wasn't true.
