respiratory particle transmission between participants
or intermittent close contact or group sports or sports
that use equipment that can't be cleaned between
participants. " Examples include basketball, volleyball,
baseball, softball, soccer, gymnastics, ice hockey, field
hockey, tennis, swimming relays, and girls' lacrosse.
High-risk sports are defined as " sports that involve
close, sustained contact between participants, lack of
significant protective barriers, and a high probability
that respiratory particles will be transmitted between
participants. " Examples include wrestling, football, boys'
lacrosse, competitive cheer, and dance.
Based on those guidelines, CDC and federal
recommendations, as well as guidance from state
and local officials, athletic administrators have been
tasked with moving forward and creating a set of
safety protocols and, in many cases, enhancing their
sanitization and bacteria control measures that have
already been in place.
Many colleges and universities have resumed oncampus,
voluntary strength and conditioning sessions
with the NCAA Division 1 Council allowing studentathletes
to resume activities on June 1. And the results,
so far, have been mixed. On June 12, just 11 days after
resuming voluntary workouts, the University of Houston
athletic department once again suspended all activities
after six student-athletes from varying sports tested
positive for COVID-19, according to a report from ESPN.
Another report from USA Today noted that eight Alabama
football players have tested positive, 28 student-athletes
from Clemson University tested positive, and 30 from
the LSU football team were recently quarantined due to
either testing positive or coming in contact with someone
who had.
But, again, the results have varied. Take the University
of Kansas, for example. The Jayhawks football team has
conducted 86 tests on student-athletes and 110 more on
staff members in the first month of resuming activities
and only one player tested positive. The University of
Iowa reported only three positive results compared to
343 negative tests.
To defy the old adage, what is good for the goose isn't
always good for the gander. Below is a look into three
schools from three different states to see where they are
in the process of resuming athletics in their respective
regions.
Massachusetts
In the Bay State, there's plenty of athletic directors
operating on military time - hurry up and wait.
" I think we've been one of the slowest states in the
nation for reopening. I think we were the last state to
reopen golf courses, " Neil Murphy, administrator of
