The NCAA just released the guidelines teams must operate under.

• COVID-19 testing and results to be completed within 72 hours of competition in “high risk contact sports” such as football
• Daily self-checks for athletes and staff
• Masks to be worn on the sideline by all players, coaches and staff, including players who move from the playing field to the sideline to confer with coaches.
• Outdoor training when possible, with indoor training only permissible with “good ventilation”
• Individuals with “high risk exposure” must be quarantined for 14 days The NCAA is using the Centers for Disease Control definition of “high risk exposure,” which is as follows: “any situation in which there has been greater than 15 minutes of close contact, defined as being less than six feet apart, with an infectious individual,” regardless if that individual is “symptomatic, pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic.”
