summer, some with fans in the stands both indoor and outdoor. At least where I live there were no outbreaks associated with them. So far, no outbreaks reported to be linked to the resumption of high school football where I am either, nor in neighboring Ohio.

After the initial outbreaks in StL and Miami, MLB, which isn't playing in a bubble, has been covid-free. I don't believe any games other than one in Cincinnati a few weeks ago have been postponed since. Nor have their been many cases (and no outbreaks) linked to NFL teams which have been in training camp for over a month. NFL training camps weren't conducted in a bubble either.

The key to all this seems to be regular testing. If the Big 10 does, that, then they could probably safely resume games.
