Coronavirus in college football: Hospitalizations, deaths projected by data analysts if FBS plays in 2020
COVID-19 does not discriminate, and young athletes are not immune to complications.
A noted University of Illinois computer science professor has some troubling data to consider regarding widespread infection and even death.
Dr. Sheldon Jacobson told CBS Sports he expects a 30%-50% infection rate of the approximately 13,000 players competing in FBS this season. Based on his research, he also projects 3-7 deaths among those players due to COVID-19.
"A few of them could end up in the hospital, and you'll have a small number who could die," Jacobson told CBS Sports. "I don't want to sugar coat it for you. I just want to give you the facts. … If everybody comes together under normal circumstances, we'll probably see that kind of outcome."
Cancellation forthcoming.

No it's not. I was talking to the head coach for BSU the other day and he was optimistic, but I think he has to project the koolaid.
My sons is a freshman in high-school and it's looking a bit bleak right now. One of the sponsors bought some of those "event tents" like for weddings so that they can lift outside. They're still lifting, but the writing is on the wall.
I just started putting a bug in his ear about the possibilities of not getting to play. He took it very maturely and said he thought I was right.
Bummer times, man.
