Two scenarios which we're likely to see played out:

1.  College football player lives on campus and plays football.

2.  College football player lives "at home" and doesn't play football and takes on line classes.

What percentage of each group will contract COVID?

What do the quotes around “at home” mean?

"At home" means living wherever they would live were they not football players.  Maybe they live in an athletic dorm, whatever.

The better question, is which group has more control over being in situations where they might contract COVID?

So this part seems like a bit of a misnomer. Those two scenarios aren't exactly right.

A player is on campus in almost every scenario. They don't get forced to move or forced to leave if there's no football. Why would they? The full campus works against football, and since the players are still students, they're not sent home when no one else is. If they didn't let students back, football would be far more workable. 

Now going off that, it means players are probably only a bit more safe with students around and not playing. They don't have the extra exposure of required close contact with a different group. They do have a drop in motivation to stay safe because there's no game payoff. They also don't have an enterprise riding on their failure or success, which itself is somewhat meaningful, likely more for schools and folks with skin in the game than those without. 

It seemed like the home thing gained some traction before players returned to campus and got an extra boost when Lawrence made it a point, even though it's not all that salient, as players were almost assuredly not leaving campus unless they empty campuses again

I don't see a whole lot of difference in likely infection rates among players regardless of their situations.

Now, the exception would be if a team has a "superspreader", if that is a real thing, in the locker room.  The locker room situation worries me.

Italy had mostly reopened, but in the wake of rising cases, they're returning some of the requirements from lockdown. So far only closing nightclubs and mandating masks again...

Spain, Italy.  Anyone that drove cases down by keeping bars and other indoor spaces closed, and then opened them up, is going to see the cases rise again.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

I don't think anyone got it right, maybe Japan and South Korea would be the best at it.
