Clemson students officially begin to move into on-campus dorms this weekend just in time for the kickoff of 2020 football season.
Across the country at schools like the University South Carolina, North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Notre Dame, the return of students has led to significant spikes in positive test for COVID-19. This has led to increased anxiety in college towns and for athletic departments eager to return to competition this fall.
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney knows the risks of the 25,000-plus students returning to the area. But he maintains faith that his team will proceed with caution because most of the students returned to the area by mid-August.
