The odds of a complication are roughly similar to the odds of complications from things like car accidents and other accidents/incidents. My view is the question will be the media coverage. If a COVID hospitalization or even death (latter unlikely with 1k cases among healthy 20 year olds) gets major media coverage much more than an average D1 player being hospitalized or worse for other things, then there will be problems.
I also keep looking at these positive test numbers as indicative that coronavirus is not unheard of among 20 year olds in their regular life, since at least some of these cases were present before they ever got to campus.
