There's one thing that I feel pretty confident about:
We will see or hear about, some sketchy COVID instances in NCAA football this year.

Coaches need to warn players and insist that they stay out of the bars during the season and be aware of their surroundings when in public.
Especially, the high profile players.

CRAZY SCENARIO:
Imagine if COVID was a thing last year while we were making a run at a natty with Burrow at QB.
Let's say we have a bye week before a big game, like BAMA. The line is LSU -3. Some crazy arse bets the house on BAMA +3 because he was able to intentionally infect Burrow with COVID. A couple days before the game, news breaks that Burrow has tested positive for COVID and will have to sit out the game. Vegas pulls the game, but this dude's big bet is already placed Bama +3.

Bama wins the game and crazy arse wins a ton of money.


As insane as this sounds, a similar scenario can happen, especially when there's money involved. Coaches need to remind players of the potential dangers and to be cautious when in public. And to a higher degree when they are around people that they do not know.
