For those unfamiliar with that area there are a number of "ACC" campuses in the same general area. It is reasonable to assume Duke, NC State and Wake Forest will all share similar rates of COVID at the start of their terms. Potentially they will do a better job of moving into dorms, social distancing in classes, and isolating students that test positive once on campus, but I doubt it.
The ACC will have a very tough time fielding football teams if a few of the campuses are going through this level of virus spread.
I would love to hear what the football coaches are telling the players.
Don't go to class. Don't visit non-football team friends. Don't go to parties. Don't drive around town. Don't interact with TAs or professors.
If they are able to follow those don'ts they just might be able to host a game or two before they travel and get exposed to hundreds of COVID positive people on their journey.
The SEC schools have so little to protect beyond football, but I thought the ACC schools were better (smarter) than this.
