College football in the BigTen cancelled non conference games, then I heard a couple of others were likely to be next, and sure enough... I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. 'My' sport is hockey, and there was supposed to be an announcement but there hasn't been yet. (I have season tickets to the local university's games.)
It's likely that classes will be online or 'hybrid' etc. so it seems unlikely there will be fans in the stands shoulder to shoulder this fall/winter. Whether they'll play with no fans and TV or webcast coverage only, I don't know. No word on our season tickets yet, and the university offices (and businesses in the college town) are mostly open only limited hours with staff working from home online.
Even though they are doing conditioning, I don't know about the games.
The games will be close contact and in many cases, breathing in, what the others exhale.
Maybe they will ALL be forced to wear masks. Though that obvisously won't work for water polo.
As for school, I heard that at my local HS the kids are going to school 2 days a week, and at home 3 days. I feel sorry for the kids.
Logistically, I just do not know HOW the admin and teachers are going to make it work. In a full classroom, the kids are only TWO feet away from each other. If you half the class size, the teachers have to teach twice as many classes, but HOW?
Sadly, at my HS, the lack of fans (students and parents) is the rule rather than the exception.
Varsity Football is the only sport with a decent crowd.
Afternoon games I understand as parents have to work.
