[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 725131, member: 1776"] SI has some great articles today about sports and COVID19. This one in particular i found interesting - 10 things that may change permanently in sports. [URL]https://www.si.com/college/2020/06/23/10-ways-sports-will-be-different[/URL] FWIW, I suspect #1 is going to cause lawsuits, especially with regards to Title IX. This one is about the NFL and safety and recognizing that the primary idea is not to protect the players, but play the games (the author believes the games should be played, but that we need to be honest about what is going on and why) [URL]https://www.si.com/nfl/2020/06/23/nfl-2020-season-financial-interests-health-risk[/URL] I found this part of the story interesting though On a conference call with agents last week NFLPA Medical Director Thom Mayer discussed the disproportionate impact of the virus on African-Americans, those with high body-mass indices and sleep apnea, which, he said, describes many NFL players. Also, I read that Von Miller needed 17 days after “recovering” from the virus to resume workouts and was still suffering some lingering windedness. I think it is important to understand that even supremely healthy people can get really knocked down by this particular disease. Miller's experience will likely be the minority, but it will happen. And it will happen to college SA's just like it will to professional ones. The PR battle that i believe college sports may have to face though is that the general public does not see college SA's the same way they see professional athletes.

The five-page plan released Monday included recommended best practices and mandatory steps. The mandatory requirements are broken up into five categories: Physical distancing Protective equipment Hygiene Cleaning and disinfection Communication and screening Institutions must require all students, employees and visitors to wear face coverings in common areas or situations where social distancing may be difficult. This does not apply to roommates, who are allowed to be within six feet of each other without a face covering. All higher education institutions must also plan with their local health department where exposed or infected students can go to quarantine or be in isolation. Institutions also have to provide face coverings for free to employees who interact directly with students and there have to be hygiene stations for hand washing with soap, running warm water, disposable paper towels, and an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, throughout the institution. Cleaning and disinfection requirements from the CDC and Department of Health to clean public spaces and restrooms also need to be followed. Employees, students and scheduled visitors need to go through health screenings and schools are responsible for notifying state and local health departments of their number of confirmed positive cases. They also need to have plans in place to contact trace. The plan also lists a wide variety of recommended practices such as considering a mix of in-person and remote learning and reconfiguring social spaces and classrooms to help maintain social distancing.
