I find it exceptionally hard to believe Cal is the only FBS football program in the country with a major Covid outbreak on its team.  My cynical assumption is other schools simply aren't testing, or have defied CDC guidelines about how to manage asymptomatic infections.

We now know vaccination does not confer Covid immunity, but does greatly reduce symptoms, so it seems logical to assume there is a lot more Covid being spread than people realize. 

Cal players with asymptomatic infections have likely been infecting people beyond just other football players, but now that they are being tested and quarantined, the football team will at least will theoretically stop spreading Covid. The rest of the campus population and community writ large?  Who knows.
