MA is adding more restrictions. My guess is that NY will not be far behind.

Short of a bubble, I would tend to agree.
Of course, anything's possible if teams, leagues and the NCAA simply don't care how many people come down with the virus.

In terms of college cases, the NYT is keeping a data base of positive cases.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/c ovid-...
Here are a number of schools with more than 6% of its students testing positive. It doesn't seem that any of them had enough negative comments/pressure (from students, alums, the general public) for them to regret their decisions.
Auburn University - 2,079 (est. 30,500 undergrads & grad students) 6.8% of students
University of Alabama - 3,219 (38,000) 8.5%
University of Colorado - 2,236 (37,500) 6.0%
University of Florida - 5,008 (52,500) 9.5%
University of Georgia - 4,387 (39,000) 11.2%
University of Illinois - 3,892 (34,000) 11.4%
University of Indiana - 3,754 (43,250) 8.7%
Purdue University - 2,700 (44,500) 6.1%
Iowa State - 2,169 (33,500) 6.5%
University of Iowa - 2,749 (31,250) 8.8%
University of Kentucky - 2,845 (29,500) 9.6%
Miami (Ohio) - 2,368 (19,500) 12.1%
Ohio State - 4,665 (60,500) 7.7%
Oklahoma State - 2,167 (24,000) 9.0%
Penn State - 4,353 (47,250) 9.2%
Clemson - 5,086 (26,000) 19.6%
University of South Carolina - 3,037 (35,500) 8.6%
University of Tennessee - 2,022 (29,500) 6.9%
Texas Tech - 2,697 (39,000) 6.9%
BYU - 2,993 (34,500) 8.7%
University of Wisconsin - 4,193 (45,250) 9.3%

It's not just the students, it's the impact/spread in the community. Not to blame the crazy rise in cases on just colleges, but it has to be part of the picture.

It sure sounds like Coach K wants to pause the season. As Duke goes...

Everyone is an genius. It was obvious that only conference bubbles would work, yet not a single conference tried it.

A lot will depend on whether the network partners would want a May Madness property versus a March Madness one in terms of delaying the season. If they don’t, it’ll be full steam ahead with making March work. And for the bigger conferences with lucrative TV deals, it wouldn’t surprise me if it ultimately led to bubbles.

The PL is attempting a minimal-travel, unbalanced-conference only schedule. That's as close to a bubble as it gets.
We will see if that works...

They clearly don't. At this point the national positivity rate is (gulp) 11% with a 7 day average of over 200,000 daily cases. 7 day average of over 2,200 fatalities, and that's gonna start spiking since yesterday we went over 3,000 and today it looks like we're headed closer to 3,500 than 3,000. Over 106,000 currently hospitalized.
What's it going to take? Some high profile coach not just coming down with COVID but dying from it? 5,000 deaths a day?

No more OOC games for Duke going forward. Let's see if that triggers more moves.

The obvious solution for a set of IL campuses that have switched to remote learning would have been remote basketball. A video game simulation of basketball wouldn’t be that different from a Zoom simulation of a classroom.

Shocking. Nate Oats doesn't give a sh1t about the safety of his players. Knock me over with a feather.

A Florida player who had previously had covid collapsed on the court today, and is currently in critical condition. We don't know what happened with him yet, but it seems like myocarditis is a real possibility.

I'll leave it to those more experienced in reading these documents to see if this player, who tested positive for covid in the summer, would have had cardiovascular testing done prior to the start of pre-season practice.

From Friday's New York Times
College Sports Has Reported at Least 6,629 Virus Cases. There Are Many More.
- The N.C.A.A. does not track coronavirus cases, but a New York Times analysis shows the pandemic’s toll across college athletics. Many universities have kept their case counts from the public.

If it is in fact the case that many of Florida's players tested positive over the summer, you have to wonder if that schedule can simply continue as is.
Everyone will be combing over every test taken since the summer for any clues that might have either been missed, ignored, dismissed or covered up.
The SEC guidelines seem pretty clear and detailed. Whether Florida actually adhered to them is another issue, although this document says that ultimately each school gets to decide how to treat each player.
