I think the players should be demanding that there be very stringent testing and safety procedures if games and practices happen and full medical coverage if they get ill. I don't know about other conferences, but the Pac-12 has already stated players can opt out this season without risking their scholarship, though of course I'm sure there's concern that unofficially some coaches might treat those that opt-out as not team-players and work to try to push them out.
But I'm also sure a lot of them want to play if possible. For the vast majority of them, this is it, this is the pinnacle of their sporting careers and they want to get to enjoy it.
