A big question now is what should Stanford do? It can be argued that if you are in an area where contact sports are prohibited, just shut it down. Any attempt to bypass the ban by practicing in San Mateo County (which went purple today) is arguably not in the spirit of the SCC ban. OTOH, possibly the SCC ban is a bit too aggressive and evading it isn't so bad. The next question is that if you want to keep playing, do you play Oregon State in Oregon? You won't be able to play it at Stanford.

As much as I would like to see Stanford play football, and as much as I doubt doing so contributes measurably to the spread of COVID-19, I think you have to shut it down for the year. Stanford is part of the community and has to abide by the regulations, even though it sucks for the athletes.

Wonder what that means for the 49ers?
