Two weeks from the date some college athletics departments are targeting for allowing athletes to start returning to campus for team workouts, NCAA chief medical officer Brian Hainline on Friday night provided an extensive, unvarnished look at what schools are facing as they try to get sports — especially football — going again.
Speaking during a live interview on an NCAA Twitter site, Hainline described a world that shows much more promise regarding testing for COVID-19 than the one that existed when the sports world shut down in early March, but one in which the current reality remains that it may not take more than a few positive tests to shut down an entire team for 14 days.
