The lingering issues would be generating a schedule and then managing IF some team comes down with it.

That's a fair point.

I just think the story being built up around his fall is BS.
If for nothing else, he should get canned for being blind to the optics of allowing his son to play while denying that choice to hundreds of other parents and their sons.

It's obviously not a great analogy, but MLB appears to be managing with one outage I know of.  I think it is POSSIBLE the SEC MIGHT get through ten games without an outbreak that cripples any team.  Possibility of course means anywhere from 1% to 99%.  

More likely, I think, is one player tests positive and has to quarantine (not play) even if it's a false positive.  That casts a shadow on the entire team obviously.  What then?  The other players on Friday might test negative but actually be positive by Saturday (contagious).  Dunno.

Too many possible outages I think to view them as anything but probable.

I think people are banking that football is played and it's some backup linebacker for Iowa State that dies and not a name player.  

Which, of course, is disgusting.

some 18-23 year old men have already died from COVID

playing football wasn't the cause

if/when a backup linebacker dies, it won't be proven it was from football, but football will be blamed

because knuckle-dragging mouth breathers cause their own problems

Statistically, I think it unlikely a college football player dies of COVID that he contracted as a result of playing football.

It is possible.

Ask the St Louis Cardinals how scrambling to save a schedule is working.

What if an older coach contracts it and dies, or survives with issues?

It is not just a Georgia State player, an Indiana player also contracted myocarditis from COVID-19, and NCAA football teams barely started practice. What will this look like after dozens of practices, guys in close proximity in the locker room and shower, guys hooting and hollering during practice, team huddles as the coach speaks at the close of practice, and players exerting themselves in close proximity, after 4-games are played? We just had a man die in our rural county 2-weeks before he was to have retired from COVID-19. I don't think we can pretend these times are normal, and carry on as if they were normal times.
I doubt that nonathlete students are any more at risk than college football players. This virus spreads when humans are in close contact with each other. Notre Dame started with in-person learning, and shortly thereafterwent to remote learning, and now they have so many positive tests with football players they suspended practice. They are going to play. How?
There was an article about this on 11 Warriors last week written by Sports Medicine Physician in Dayton Ohio. It was very interesting:

it was his choice to do what he loves to do with added risk

the media would have a great story, not sure what impact it would have on the season going forward

If an older coach died, it would be a huge media story, which often elicits reactions.
