The guidelines include daily self-heath checks as well as testing athletes within 72 hours of competition in high contact risk sports.<\/p>\n<p>Fall sports have been in danger the last few weeks of not being played, and several conferences across all three divisions, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/reports-ivy-league-halts-fall-sports-decision-on-winter-sports-to-come\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ivy League<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/division-iii-nescac-follows-ivy-leagues-lead-and-cancels-fall-sports-for-upcoming-school-year\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NESCAC<\/a> among others, have already indicated their schools will not be competing in fall sports, which includes the big moneymaker: football.<\/p>\n<p>In order for college sports to return to normal, the NCAA has put forth these regulations for teams.<\/p>\n<p>The guidelines are designed to inform schools in responding appropriately based on their specific circumstances and in the best interest of returning college athletes\u2019 health and well-being.\u00a0 Many sports require close, personal contact and require specially crafted guidelines. Among the recommendations put forth:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Daily self-health checks.<\/li>\n<li>The appropriate use of face coverings and social distancing during training, competition and outside of athletics.<\/li>\n<li>Testing strategies for all athletics activities, including pre-season, regular season and post-season.<\/li>\n<li>Testing and results within 72 hours of competition in high contact risk sports.<\/li>\n<li>Member schools must adhere to public health standards set by their local communities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The power five Division I conferences: ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC have made their own separate decisions regarding sports.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theacc.com\/news\/2020\/7\/9\/general-acc-fall-olympic-sports-to-delay-competition-until-at-least-september-1.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The ACC decision<\/a>\u00a0allows \u201ceach campus to further focus on ensuring return to competition protocols are in place to facilitate the resocialization process.\u201d A unanimous decision by the ACC\u2019s Board of Directors, it covers soccer, cross country, volleyball and field hockey.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bigten.org\/news\/2020\/7\/9\/big-ten-statement-on-2020-21-fall-season.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Big Ten\u2019s proviso<\/a>\u00a0covers the same sports plus football. \u201cBy limiting competition to other Big Ten institutions,\u201d a statement read, \u201cthe Conference will have the greatest flexibility to adjust its own operations throughout the season and make quick decisions in real-time based on the most current evolving medical advice and the fluid nature of the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Pac-12&#8217;s fall sports will play only conference opponents, while the SEC has delayed the start of the fall season for volleyball, soccer and cross country.<\/p>\n<p>The elephant in the room is the economic fallout that could happen if schools are not able to play a full football season this year. Many schools have had to make the difficult decision to cut sports, including swimming at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/east-carolina-swimming-and-diving-members-raising-funds-to-save-program-donation-link\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">East Carolina<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/university-of-connecticut-proposing-to-cut-mens-swimming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Connecticut<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/petitions-started-to-save-dartmouth-umass-dartmouth-swimming-programs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dartmouth<\/a> due to a falling out in the budget. If football cannot be played, the number of cut teams will increase.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny recommendation on a pathway toward a safe return to sport will depend on the national trajectory of COVID-19 spread,\u201d said <strong>Brian Hainline<\/strong>, NCAA chief medical officer. \u201cThe idea of sport re-socialization is predicated on a scenario of reduced or flattened infection rates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we made the extremely difficult decision to cancel last spring\u2019s championships it was because there was simply no way to conduct them safely,\u201d said NCAA President <strong>Mark Emmert<\/strong>. \u201cThis document lays out the advice of health care professionals as to how to resume college sports if we can achieve an environment where COVID-19 rates are manageable. Today, sadly, the data point in the wrong direction. If there is to be college sports in the fall, we need to get a much better handle on the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncaa.org\/about\/resources\/media-center\/news\/ncaa-issues-next-set-return-sport-guidelines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NCAA release<\/a>, the recommendations were developed in collaboration with the NCAA COVID-19 Advisory Panel,\u00a0American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) COVID-19 Working Group,\u00a0Autonomy-5 Medical Advisory Group,\u00a0National Medical Association, and\u00a0NCAA Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports Prevention and Performance Subcommittee.
