Notre Dame and the ACC are set to start the 2020 college football season the weekend of September 12. Ahead of that though, all ACC member schools will be required to participate in three COVID-19 tests each week, in order to be able to play.
Any athlete that does test positive for COVID-19 will then undergo a cardiac evaluation before they’re able to return to their normal routines.
In addition to the three tests per week, non-essential personnel will no longer be allowed on the sidelines in any ACC game and those deemed essential will be required to pass temperature screening, symptom checks, practice physical distancing and will required to wear a mask at all times.
Three tests a week falls in line with exactly what the Big 12, SEC and Conference USA have already announced they’ll be doing.
It’s unquestionable that things feel different the later we get into this summer but get ready for college football as we’re now just two weeks away from it kicking off with Notre Dame in the ACC.
