In general I am with you on this ... but whether it is at NU or Tennessee or Clemson ... some 20-year old athlete is invariably going to get seriously sick because of COVID ... the "odds" of that happening are good:
In parts of the country, more people in their 20s and 30s are testing positive for the coronavirus. Experts say this is likely due to more testing and less adherence to distancing and mask guidelines.

That means ... some athlete somewhere is going to contract COVID and get seriously ill. If that happens does that mean football SHOULD close down .. probably not, but could it or will it shut down? Probably yes.
