What’s Worse: College or High School?

I know everyone here is a lot more interested in college football than high school football. I am too. But from a health perspective, is playing high school football more conducive to a virus spread than college football?
Consider:
1. High schools don’t have the resources to test players multiple times per week.
2. High school players live with their families and attend school while closely surrounded by other teens. They can’t be shut off from society as easily.
3. Some major college stadiums hold over 100,000 people, but how many people attend all the high school games that are played in every area of the state?

Neither. The players are not going to catch the goddamn virus on the field during a game. It’s going to be in their day to day lives, going to class, eating with friends or family, going to bars/parties, etc. Hence why cancelling is senseless and will prevent zero spread amongst the players and staff.

But from a health perspective
Restaurants, grocery store, gas stations, anywhere with a roof and walls is worse than college football.
The numbers are exponentially lower with college football players

A couple of points (a) high schoolers are generally going to play teams within a two hour radius and won’t require out of state travel and overnight hotel stays and have the size footprint colleges will have when they travel. (B) our school (private school) is limiting attendance to player and cheerleader families, social distanced seniors and rotates high school classes who will be able to attend. And folks who bought season tickets, which will largely already consist of player families, keeping attendance to no more than 25%. The visiting teams will receive a number of passes for family only.

This virus is an ageist. So I guess college would be less safe. The younger you are the safer you are. But neither group should be worried.
Now the flag football team at the local senior's center is screwed.
