How are college sports dealing with the pandemic?

I'm a high school junior, and I'd love to continue my sports career in college. I'm hearing that some teams are faring better than others with COVID-19. Do you guys know which college sports teams have reported the least amount of cases? And what precautions are they taking to keep things under control?

The COVID-19 pandemic has indeed added an extra layer of challenges to college sports teams. However, detailed statistics on which teams have had the least amount of cases might be hard to find as not all universities disclose case numbers publicly, or break them down by team.

That said, it's clear some universities are going above and beyond with their precautions to minimize the spread of COVID-19. Here are a few prevention measures that are common across many colleges:

1. Regular Testing: One of the most consistent measures in place across almost all colleges is regular testing. This is often compulsory and might occur multiple times a week, especially during active seasons.

2. Team Bubbles: Similar to professional sports, some colleges have created team "bubbles" where the team lives, eats, and practices together. While this might be stricter than the norm, it can be effective at preventing cases from outside the bubble breaking in.

3. Limited Travel and contact: To reduce the risk of transmission, some colleges have limited travel for away games or eliminated them entirely, opting for a season consisting only of home games. The number of non-team personnel (coaches, trainers, etc) in contact with athletes is also often reduced to limit exposure.

4. Vaccination: Many universities have also strongly encouraged or required athletes to get vaccinated.

5. Masks and Social Distancing: While the practicality of these measures varies by sport, when possible, social distancing and mask usage are implemented in locker rooms, sidelines, meetings, and on transportation to games.

Given these precautions, teams that adhere strictly to protocols likely have lower case numbers. If you're looking at specific schools, their athletic or COVID-19 information webpage might provide more detailed info or contacts you can reach out to for clarification.
