Key among the nine 'core principles of resocialization of collegiate sport' is that universities should have plans for temperature checks, testing, isolating and contact tracing and getting adequate protective equipment for athletics health care providers.
The NCAA says the ability to assess immunity on a college campus and have “reliable, rapid diagnostic testing” available for anyone suspected of having COVID-19 are key principles for restarting college sports, according to a document released Friday.
The requirements released by the NCAA and put together by its COVID-19 advisory panel of medical and public health experts weaves together the White House’s “Opening Up America Again” guidelines with how they will apply to a campus and college sports setting. Key among the nine “core principles of resocialization of collegiate sport” is that universities should have plans for temperature checks, testing, isolating and contact tracing and acquiring adequate protective equipment for athletics health care providers.
“It is also important to take into consideration that there will not be a quick, single day of re-emergence into society,” NCAA chief medical officer Dr. Brian Hainline said. “We will re-emerge in a manner that recognizes COVID-19 will be around until there is an effective vaccine, treatment or both. That is why resocialization should be rolled out in a phased way that helps assure sustained low infection spread, as well as aids in the ability to quickly diagnose and isolate new cases.

NCAA Wonders Why Financially Struggling Student Athletes Didn’t Just Exploit Labor Of OthersNEW YORK—Expressing confusion over players’ work ethic, NCAA president Mark Emmert wondered Friday why financially struggling student athletes didn’t just exploit the labor of others. “We understand students may often feel financial pressure, but they did not need to ask us for money when they could simply go out and profit off other kids in desperate situations,” said Emmert, recommending that athletes could simply build an arena with nothing but an endowment or their inheritance money and then rake in cash from events and concessions that they do not even have to take part in organizing. “I’m not quite sure why these young men and women don’t take some initiative, find some struggling people, and skim profits off their work. There are millions of people in this country you could do this to, from rideshare drivers to food service workers, and you could make millions while still having plenty of time to study and go to practice. It’s literally the easiest thing in the world to do.” At press time, Emmert announced the NCAA would be garnishing 90% of any profits student athletes generated from independent business ventures.
