All it takes is one school in a conference saying "that's it, we're done" after positive tests pass their internal threshold and the rest of the conference's schedule is compromised.

I don't anticipate nearly as much trouble for pro sports, but I'm afraid that many if not most colleges will prioritize student-athlete health and their reputation (especially the latter in the guise of the former) over finishing a football schedule.

Major League Baseball, basically a non-contact sport, is showing how difficult all this may be this year. the realities are that though many want football, it doesn't seem likely to happen under these conditions. then again, they may change on Nov 4....but I digest...my pizza.

I don't think the positives in baseball are related much to activities in the competition areas.
