If Miami Marlins are sidelined after two games, 15 players and two staff testing positive, the odds of a college football season which involves more players in closer contact, are very low.

Iowa had high school baseball this summer. Several teams suspended their season for two weeks after experiencing positive tests. I do not see a football season happening this fall, and if it does start, it will be over in two weeks.

I suspect many parents will tell their college, and high school athletes, it is not worth chancing your health to play a sport that requires close contact with others.

We will be watching the Golf Channel, gymnastics, and figure skating.
The differences in sport aside, these were professional players, well paid, going home, in a relatively controlled environment.  You can't have a bunch of kids, in dorms, unpaid.  It simply ain't happening.

I did have a thought about NFL though.  What if you went to an 8 game schedule, where NFC and AFC played on alternating Sundays.  Then you'd have two weeks between games.  Enough time to go home, and then come back in, get tested like Tuesday, and then strict quarentine as a team Tuesday-Sunday.

Mlb tests tier 1 players every other day and others twice a week.

Wonder if they get the results back, same day? The contagiousness of this virus is quite something that 17 people would catch it before the team knows they are infected.

I presume they use the locker rooms right?  Those things are ideal for contagion, just about a perfect Petri dish for this thing.

Saw someone else suggest they shouldn't make up the games.  They should make them forfeit for their stupidity, and any players that attended should lose the forfeited games portion of their pay.  Unsurprising that it's Florida's team that screwed this up

I've been in MLB locker rooms for fantasy camp.  I think that is one place you have to change, somehow.  There are a lot of meeting rooms in the facilities, they could be used perhaps.  Have the players dress (mostly) at home and show up ready to play.

Well, the ACC is the first with an actual plan, and not just cancellations.  I guess this sort of sets the tone.  Granted I still don't see how even this is doable

It's a cute plan that won't happen.

I've seen footage from interviews in MLB clubhouses and it looks like they have every other locker taped off.  

The argument these are millionaires who get to go home and aren't being controlled can be countered with these are millionaires who need to play in order to make more millions going forward and have every available support to avoid contracting the virus.  

VT has a player who's opted out, supposed to be a high draft pick.  We all want football and baseball and schooling, etc.....but it's just not feasible right now.  Our freedoms make us stubborn.

Our freedoms make us pussies. 

I'd bet my left nut vast majority of these super freak athletes "catching" coronavirus probably have zero to no symptoms and it's not a major problem for them or their wives/children at all either.

Do you think offensive linemen may be at somewhat elevated risk? What about the staff?

The ACC cancelled nonconference games not in home states.  UGA-UVA is cancelled.  UGA's first game could be @Bama.
