If it becomes impossible to play college football this fall, it will be blatantly obvious where to pin the blame. Like so many other issues this country has dealt with over the past four months during the COVID-19 pandemic, America’s inability to figure out how to test large numbers of people in an accurate and efficient manner is going to be the culprit.
The NCAA issued a new set of guidelines Thursday for the return of college sports, calling for “testing and results within 72 hours of competition” for a sport like football that is impossible to play without people coming into close contact with one another.
