So what happens when some student-athletes don't want to play, or have parents who threaten to sue if their children are forced to play? Will schools take away their scholarships? The optics of not allowing on-campus attendance but requiring student-athlete participation will be horrible, all the more so given the NCAA's tone-deaf approach to compensation for student-athletes. Even if there's a 1/10000 chance that a 20-year-old exposed to COVID-19 dies from it, all it will take is one ICU admission to put the kibosh on the whole thing.
