It’s not known how many of the 37 athletes are football players.
UNC’s football has paused voluntary workouts for at least a week after 37 of 429 COVID-19 tests of UNC athletes came back positive. The university didn’t break down the positive tests by sport.

While UNC shutting down isn’t as bad as Ohio State, it’s still not good. UNC is an ACC team and a Power Five program.
They’re one of the biggest teams in America, and they just pulled the plug on workouts and activities because of the coronavirus pandemic.

You really have to start wondering how many more schools will do the same. I’d bet my life savings that UNC won’t be the last team to make this move.
The really bad news is that the season isn’t too far away at this point. The window to the end of August when games start is rapidly closing.

Hopefully, UNC is able to bounce back and get on the field soon. If not, then fans of the Tar Heels might be in for a rough season.
