We’ve mentioned time and again here that college football being played in 2020 is by no means a guarantee, despite how excited we all are for the potential for it.
Earlier this week the NCAA took a bit step in getting the necessary action going in order for college football to start on time.
Friday didn’t bring as good of news to the national college football picture however as the University of Houston announced they’re suspending all voluntary workouts for student-athletes effective immediately because of a recent outbreak on their athletic teams.
Houston is immediately suspending all voluntary workouts for student-athletes after 6 symptomatic UH student-athletes tested positive for COVID-19

The University didn’t give details as to what sport those who tested positive play, not that it really matters. If it were six women’s basketball players would it somehow make you feel better about football players not getting infected?
Didn’t think so.
Let’s just hope these cases are more of the exception than the rule and that suspending workouts isn’t a nationwide thing for NCAA teams a week or two from now.
Notre Dame players have begun arriving to campus to begin a ten day quarantine at The Morris Inn before voluntary workouts begin June 22.
