This seems to be inevitable. I read the bucs are thinking of quarantining a QB in case Brady develops covid during the season. Do college programs do anything similar? Can they do things similar?

New strategies. Teams need to evolve or lose...

a few players now, a bunch down the line, cant practice, cant play in games. What do you do if 3 QBs catch it and 7 olineman (all starters) in big game week? Forfeit? What is going to be protocol?

Crazy times

Complete crapshoot.
I heard King, Jordan, Scaife, Williams, Rousseau, Roche, Ford, Blades, Bolden, and Hall have antibodies and are good to go. That’s what I’m sticking to, anyway.
 
manny Navarro from the Athletic had a long article on the team yesterday and he quoted a parent as saying they had not heard there were any positive tests among the 65 kids on campus. The parent also said the health and sanitary measures were exceptional. Kids seem to be in good hands.
 
What will be the reaction on this board if/when half the team is out with the Wuhan virus and we have Ron iRegular's little bro lining up at RB.
 
Yo wtf are they doing that 13 tested positive? It isn’t hard to enforce social distancing on a ball field and you can break up weight training sessions in group that enter at different times.

The teams that catch it now and get it over with Gonna have an advantage in the season, if there’s a season
 
At the HS level they're telling us we need to expect two week quarantines where we can't do anything on campus and just skip over the games those weeks. It won't be treated like a hurricane with make up dates etc

Cancel the season because players may get the sniffles - in a situation where they can easily be managed, observed and isolated for a short period of time? How does that make any sense?
 
I'm going to take a wild guess here and say today's athletes aren't that drastically different than my crew when we were in our teens and early 20s. Except they have more specific workouts - still you want to catch up with your boys before the season when everything you do is planned for you.

We probably would have spread the heck out of it because a bunch of us would show up a week before the official report date: Those NAIA Days went something like this in 1970s Dodge City, Kansas:

Meet at noon after breakfast at the High School field, run agilities and sprints, do position drills, and sweat off the night before.
Head to the Sandpit and spend an hour in the water checking out the bikinis.
Afternoons the QB and WRs would throw, DBs cover. The line would play touch football.
Early evening go to Big Nosed Kate's or Wyatt Earp Cafe and eat (still) the best Mexican food I've ever had
Finally, Go rage till the bars closed. It proved to be a bonus when one of the Seniors who took me under his wing when I was a freshman, became a local cop.

And in our locker room - where guys during two a days would bet to see who could get their sweat-drenched practice jersey to dry and stand up on its own- we had great herd immunity

Think those test kits were supplied by a Tampa company whose owner is a USF Alum...

But what if football players come into contact with someone who may have a pre-existing medical condition? Sometimes it's not about the carrier but the person it could be spread to.

Additionally are the Universities gonna asked their student-body to sign and waive their rights away to attend school or is that just for the football players who may get the sniffles
