There are likely to be student athletes who have permanent cardiovascular or neurological damage due to Covid19 infections who wouldn't have if they had engaged in social distancing, but no way of knowing how many would have actually done so given with the ramshackle US approach to the epidemic that has made it a laughing stock around the world. It is likely there will be proportionally more in the SEC/ACC/B12 due to the tighter protocols followed by the Big Ten and PAC12.

But on the other hand, people who enjoy watching college football would have had less football to watch, which surely is a higher priority than life and health.

No. No there isn't.

And even if it were true more would be infected not being covid protocols and not in practice.
