2020 continues to be the strangest year in recent memory, and recent days have raised more and more questions about whether American sports can resume or, in the NFL’s case, get underway safely. Several college athletic departments are seeing waves of positive COVID-19 cases, with the Clemson and LSU football teams being hit particularly hard.
