There doesn't need to be a single bit of spread within the team or between teams on the field for a bunch of players to get it, forcing quarantine - not to mention the potential for any complications that might occur (lung/heart, etc.).

It seems to me that is (or should be) the larger concern. Can you really contain football teams in something approximating a bubble, when they are surrounded by other 20 year olds, travelling out of state, staying in hotels, etc. You don't need spread just from football activities to force a shut down.

Do you have a good feel for what is going on with Florida State? I can't tell if there are players secretly coming down with Covid or if there is something else causing a few player complaints.
