[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 713930, member: 1199"] If we have football this Fall, there will have to be changes in how the games are managed. For games with fans: Universities will have to have a non-refundable screening process at the gates for every fan that enters. This may also be required for entry into the the parking lots for tailgate parties. Needless to say, this will be expensive and very time consuming. There have been discussions about having liability waiver statements signed by every person who enters the stadium. There have also been discussions about waiver signing at the time of ticket purchase and having all pre-cleared tickets non-transferrable. ID required to enter with pre-cleared ticket. State and local social distancing at the time of ticket purchase may be required for all advance sale tickets. For games with or without fans: Players will have to be tested and isolated before every game. This will probably require online classes for players in the Fall. Coaches and university staff in contact with players just before and during the game or halftime will have to be tested and isolated before every game. Game officials will have to be tested and isolated before every game. This will be an additional expense and may mean some game officials will not be able to participate. Stadium staff and security people will have to be screened before the game and kept away from players, coaches, etc who had been isolated. Questions that must be answered: What happens if a player, coach, or game official has covid-19 symptoms during the game? If a player fails covid test, is he the only team member banned from playing? For how many games? How will financial guarantees for OOC games be handled if attendance limitations are enforced? How will in-game ad revenue be impacted if attendance limitations are enforced. These are just a few of the issues that came up when I discussed this with a former university administrator. [/QUOTE]
