It would take the creation of a bubble around football players and coaches similar to what is occuring in basic training right now with trainees and drill sergeants/cadre.
Not sure they are ready to commit to that. Creating secure lodging and dining facilities (all online course and limited contact with those outside the program) on campus along with gym/other facilities where all workers are screened and common areas cleaned throughly each day. Secured transportation and lodging to and from game locations. All players/coaches screened daily and tested biweekly. Plans to remove, house and monitor positive cases (asymptomatic and symtomatic) and possible exposures. This likely leads to a recommendation for 2-3 week buffer between games to ID the emergence of new cases after each game week interaction. But, more so, it is the reserve of coaches and players required to keep playing when an outbreak occurs that infects and exposes a large population.
It creates lots of options on rule changes and roster sizes to help make the season happen. But, all that said, I don't think we will see more than 6 games over the course of the season if we see one at all. Thise are spread over the course of the season based on measures mentioned above, or about all we get to when the spread becomes so pervasive the season is cancelled.
In any case, scholarships should be protected to avoid forcing a kid to play. That should be a choice and not forced obligation to continue school or future team membership. So, scholarship caps should be allowed to grow along with roster sizes and additional eligibility.
