I've spoken with two hospital administrators who have said that the football field is one of the least likeliest places to contract the virus; heat, humidity, etc.

Whom shall I believe?

I totally forgot about the heat, so I'd go with the administrators but it may be a bit different during the fall.
 
A few years back they were breathlessly reporting on "rainbow parties" that were supposedly happening in middle and high schools (girls with different color lipstick performing sexual favors on boys to create a rainbow). Nobody ever found a single example of it happening, except some reports that the media caused hkids to try it out after they reported it.

For the record, I only know about this garbage because my kids were the right age when this was being reported on. So family kept tagging me in reports about it on Facebook. And every bit of research I did could find no real examples, just reporters talking about it.

Heat and humidity aren't the first factors I'd point to as lessening likelihood of transmission. Outdoors in general will lessen likelihood. But long duration of close contact situations where players are exerting themselves 100% is a textbook scenario for transmission on the other side of things.

He pointed to a few things (hence, etc.) but the conditions on the field was one of the primary points of our discussions that day.

Which is why you get them on campus get it under control and keep it that way. If all teams are doing this you have reduced the possibility of transmission but not eliminated it. When someone on the team goes out into a less controlled environment that is when you increase the risk for the team.

Same with my home, manage exposure for the people under my roof and the risk is very lower. If I visit with others that have done the same again low risk.

I get the theory of controlling the environment, but what measures are in place to isolate the 105 football players from other students on campus outside of practice time, meeting time, and weight room/conditioning time? I am not sure it's possible. Players are still going to interact with non-players on campus, at other gatherings, at the store, etc.

The University is taking steps to monitor all students. Temperature checks, testing, constant sterilization. The campus will be a controlled environment that will minimize the chance for the virus to spread. Not saying it can't surface, but if it does, immediate steps can be taken to control it.

And when do college students cooperate
 
You'd have to lock them down to manage this.

The charts I've seen indicate the southern states are rising faster than the northern states, so this seems to indicate that summer isn't any better where its hotter.

This data is to help normalize and visualize the data, cases per 100k people. One of the better sites I've seen.
  • Green = <1 per 100k
  • Yellow = 1-9 cases per 100k
  • Orange = 10-24 per 100k
  • Red = 25+ cases per 100,000.

Are any of those infected Yankees that have come down to vacation or get away from Northern hotspots, all while bringing it with them?
 
Actually.....that’s exactly what it will take is cooperation...
All of which u speak is.....what you do with those that do cooperate....

Most likely have to threaten most of them with the question, "do you want tape to increase your shot at making millions or rely on your current body of work". Guys like Najee, Dylan, Alex, and Devonta came back to build their tape. Get those seniors thinking about their future and I bet they get some folks in line.
