This should be NCAA mandated for all conferences. Keep it structured and simple. Hats off to the SEC on this one.

University of Alabama President Stuart R. Bell asked students, faculty and staff to work together to follow safety protocols so the university can finish the fall semester with in-person classes. Bell said there will be consequences, including suspension, for not following the rules on and off campus.
This is a critical moment for The University of Alabama. Despite the robust testing, training, health and safety measures we carefully and clearly implemented, there is an unacceptable rise in positive COVID cases on our campus,"
Bell wrote in a letter released Sunday.
According to the letter, university police and the Tuscaloosa Police Department will partner to monitor bars, restaurants and off-campus housing to ensure the city's Covid-19 ordinances and university guidelines are followed.
Violations to our health and safety protocols, both on and off campus, are subject to harsh disciplinary action, up to and including suspension from UA," the university president said.
