Description
Summary:As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to surge in the United States, administrators, government and local officials, along with parents and students, are forced with difficult decisions around holding and attending in-person school. A major decision facing administrators in college athletics and institutions of higher education is whether--and if so, how--to host varsity athletic competition in the 2020-21 school year. This case study lays out various approaches and strategies employed by college athletics conferences and leagues, and the function of athletics in higher education before placing students in a decision-making role regarding best practices for hosting college athletics amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
