This after, as seen above, two of the first 117 tests came back positive.
With COVID-19 spiking up again across the country, there have been programs including Ohio State to suspend their voluntary workouts and even the Ivy League, an entire conference, cancelling their fall athletic season.
Will the schedule be only in-conference? Will games be decided by key players missing time after testing positive?
These are some of the questions that will become clear in the coming weeks as teams get further and further into their preseason preparations.
