Late in June we saw every Notre Dame football player and coach get tested for COVID-19 upon their arrival back to campus with only one positive test being found. Two weeks later that number has in fact decreased to zero.
103 football student-athletes received tests on July 1 with no positive tests coming back. Furthermore, no tests came back with positive results for the antibodies, either, and the one player who previously tested positive has recovered and returned to voluntary workouts.

This is what I’m most interested in not so much at Notre Dame since there was only one positive test to start with, but at other colleges that have seen significantly more positive tests.
Two weeks later Notre Dame has a roster full of clean health in regards to COVID-19. Will the numbers dip at places like Clemson, Alabama or LSU where positive tests have been a major issue to date?
The answer to that question probably gives you your best information as to if we’ll see college football this fall or not.
Here’s to hoping those numbers drop on college campuses nationwide, and everywhere else not on a college campus for that matter, as well.
