College Football - Football 2021 is when I expect to see players possibly on the field for a full season. Covid-19 is running rampant in colleges with the athletes and the entire student bodies are not on campus. Can you imagine what is in store when the students return (parties, social gatherings etc.).
High School Football - When school starts in August we will see possibly 3 plans for student to be educated- virtual, blended, and all in person. The CDC indicates that it takes 3 precautions to possibly control the virus, face mask, social distancing, and cleaning. Now just think, there is no way to keep students 6 feet apart on a school bus, 6 feet apart in a classroom of 25-30 students or 15 students in a classroom, hallway transition, and the cafeteria will be a nightmare. Every public school, private school, and college will be seeking the same masks, face shields, sanitizing and cleaning supplies. In addition, our first responders will need those same supplies. In Alabama if a athlete test positive for Covid-19 he/she will have to quarantine for 14 days. Plus, sit out and extra 7 days (AHSAA rule) before being allowed to play again. That's 3 games. You have asked yourself, "did they make contact with any of the other players in a contact sport"?
