Has it been proven that colleges that forewent football, etc. have had fewer Covid issues?

Is there hard data that schools in the Ivy League and others have had much fewer Covid cases and healthier student athletes by not fielding athletic teams in '20-'21?

Doubt it.

Still waiting on the first person, coach or player, from college football that has died from covid.

Our basketball team has canceled 5 games and postponed 4

No. UConn didn’t play and had more cases than many schools who played.

There isn't. If anything an argument can be made that quarantining on campus and remaining among your football peers and having access to the medical resources they have is safer than no football everyone being left to your own devices.

Doesn't fit the narrative though. And no one that made the absurd claims over the offseason is going to have to walk their takes back or eat their crow either. State of "journalism" these days.

Still waiting on the data that shows that all this contact tracing is finding the dreaded cases or if we are just making healthy people stay home just to virtue signal that we are “doing something”.

nearly all of the Ivy League went virtual in the fall, so I guess their numbers would have been low

We probably won't be able to get data on this because they're all dead.

Hard Data says all the players died, those people who took the field were right wing nationalists.
