IMO the probability Santa Clara will allow indoor sports activities through January is extremely low.  

I am going to go the other way - as I have to, given my belief the outlier position of SCC on sports teams was motivated by anti-'Niner animus, and the colleges were just thrown in for cover.  'Niners done in a week.  Plus, SCC didn't go all "Wyatt Earp" on either SJSU football team or Stanford hoops teams for "violating protocol" in recently departing for scheduled out-of-town contests.  Plus (and most importantly), no Covid positives on these teams.  For college-aged kids, that is pretty impressive (and must defy actuarials from "the regular college world").  Really hope the latter factor holds.

And one other thing:  the incremental risk from WVB team practicing when (at least some) students are back on campus have to be pretty small.  Don't know if this will matter to SCC - or if the Health Officer is wedded to her outlier position.  Guess we'll see.
