The return of college sports is on the table. Fans, journalists, and student athletes have questions about infrastructure. As teams have returned to training camp, COVID-19 infections have spiked at colleges around the country: Clemson, University of Alabama, LSU, Kansas State.
Some will ask: What needs to be done for a “safe” season? The only question really worth asking at this point is clear: How many dead college athletes is too many?
Every measure taken by sports leagues to bring athletes back in and get games back on “safely” is an effort to mitigate harm, instead of eliminating it.
