What Oddsmakers Are Saying About the New Power-5 COVID-19 Protocol

Earlier today, Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger obtained a copy of the July 8 document from the Power 5 detailing minimum standards for testing & response protocols:

“College football players who test positive for COVID-19 this fall will be required to miss at least 10 days of competition, and that number is even higher—a full two weeks—for those who are found to have had contact with a person who tested positive.”

The document has yet to be finalized, but it is expected to be released in the near future by the Power 5 and the NCAA, which could have far reaching effects on the world of sports betting come the fall.
