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.

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.

Try the first high school, college, or professional player, coach or hell even support staff member even seriously hospitalized in any sport due to Covid.
There is no data that sports is spreading the disease in any sort of meaningful way, and it’s especially not hitting any kind of vulnerable population

This should have been obvious to anyone with any sense from the start.

Exactly
My point is all the cancellations due to contact tracing are completely unnecessary for these leagues. It simply should not be an issue.

I argued this point with a number of people before the season started. Was blown away how many thought the opposite.

I remember seeing the thread from some doctor or scientist, I think, saying that there would be multiple deaths in football. Where'd that guy go?

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”.

Ryquell Armstead with the Jags has been hospitalized twice and missed the season.
There was a college player who died, but not sure cause was ever confirmed.

I'd like to know the answer to this, too

As I recall, the college player was from a school that elected not to play its football season.

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