[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 726130, member: 1199"] I think the thread should be renamed to "will we have college football as we know it?" The ethical questions in college football are always present, but this year is off the chart with "what would/should we do " questions. Because of privacy laws, colleges cannot reveal any individual player's health status. They can say he will not play, but cannot say why unless he or his parents give their permission. If several players are positive, but not sick, does the coach say nothing until game time? Can the player(s) warm up with the team? Dress out with the team? Could the coach simply say, he ain't sick, he's playing? Do the teams have to test every week? If it's a road game, do you have asymptomatic players on the travel squad? If you are going to play someone who is feeling a little bit ill, but tested positive early in the week, do you assume he has COVID-19 or do you treat him like anyone else who has cold?
