Another practical matter to consider: large numbers of players testing positive and having to sit out a couple weeks is going mess with cohesiveness, player development, learning the playbook, assessing the status of the depth chart, etc. With existing time limits on fall camps that leaves not much margin for error. If I'm a coach, I'm telling my team in no uncertain terms to not be stupid and put yourself at heightened risk of getting infected by going to parties, etc.

Which is exactly how KState just got shutdown.

They're gonna put the NBA in a bubble but expect college athletes to live on campuses and not be a 20 year old?
