You don't know that public universities are government entities?

ETA: Nothing should be shut down, masks do nothing, and social distancing is pointless. The government is the problem here, not the virus.

My assumption by your post is you swing to the right and if so I would think you would be following that party and know they are doing everything they can to prevent universities as well from being liable and from being sued.

Again they are not being forced by any government entity to shutdown. Please show me where the state of AL is saying no to football this fall. All these programs are looking at liability issues and if they think they can be held liable they will shut it down not an outside entity.

The problem are people refusing to follow protocols. I do not care if you agree with them or not, or whether they work or not. The issue is liability and the insurance companies. Any entity that operates and is required to have liability insurance is going to have to follow certain protocols to ensure safety. Right now those protocols are the things you are saying do not work, which is irrelevant, but are required by the insurance companies.

The universities are realizing there is only so much they can do on their own to protect all stakeholders for fall sports. But at some point they also need to know that the fans who supposedly love and support their program will also help them keep the doors open and following the safety protocols the university is putting in place. But we have to many that feel wearing a mask is asking them to give up some freedom and now we will have a fall without sports.
