As I’ve said several times, there’s no reason to panic when a school pops with a positive test. Now, if a locker room gets decimated, then that’s a different story.

However, we’re going to have positive tests. That’s just going to happen. There’s no way to get around it at this point.

The key will be for universities to find a way to ensure the safety and security for all the athletes involved, which I have no doubt they can do.

Test the athletes, isolate those who have the virus and protect the locker room. It doesn’t need to get too complicated.

I truly believe we’ll have football in the fall if we’re smart about it. Let’s not panic over a few positive tests.
