Thankfully for them the risk of people that age getting seriously sick from this disease are virtually at 0%.
Unfortunately for residents of the communities of these college towns, not to mention faculty and staff at these colleges, the risk isn't as low.
And we still don't know much about the long term health impacts. Lot of reports of permanent heart, lung, and kidney damage in survivors, some that never even showed any symptoms of the virus.

Saban is at high risk based on age, but that seems to allude some on here.

But the more info that comes out, the more it appears that even the elite athlete is susceptible to the long term effects of the virus. And as more of this evidence becomes available, the more that the people in charge realize they can't provide any sort of protection for anyone. Which leaves them liable if they proceed as planned. So I don't see any way sports will be allowed to proceed unless you can convince the majority of athletes to sign some sort of liability waiver. This is a known danger which they can't currently prevent. The only way you can prevent it is to prevent any member of the team from getting it which we already see isn't realistic. I am saddened and thoroughly disappointed, but I don't see how they can play. I think the P5 commissioners are all just waiting for the other blink first so the rest can blame the bad guy.
