COVID-19 developments show 2020 football season will be unlike any other

UF may be taking a slow and smart approach to bringing its players back to campus, but not every school is. The University of Houston didn’t test its players upon their return, and accordingly it had to shut down its workouts last week after six athletes tested positive for COVID-19. A seventh has come up positive this week.

That’s about half the problem that the University of Texas football program has on its hands. The school announced today that a total of 13 Longhorn football players are either confirmed or presumed positive.
