they might have to go the "bubble" route, but the commissioner basically told the MLBPA that with the recent positive tests, there's no way that they can restart until June 29, which basically would end up giving them 66 days for 60 games. Players are said to be voting on the proposal, I believe.

I'm not sure on college football. It seems that they're giving it a shot and of course if they could control the players' outside activities (like Scott Gottlieb alludes to) it would be manageable. That appears to be quite difficult given school, classes, etc.

I'm still of the mindset that nobody really knows, but we're certainly getting some answers coming in with the testing and tracing (or lack thereof). I do think that pro sports are much more likely to actually be able to "quarantine" their players better than college and high school athletes, and I think that we'll see a much better chance of that happening.
