So one of the things being seriously considered

I hadn’t heard about that until now. I guess the idea is that spring sports draw smaller crowds so would reduce some exposure risk? I’m not convinced that idea is worth the disruption. It would make more sense to me to stick to the usual schedule and work on methods to limit game day crowds. Maybe allow just parents and siblings in person and livestream games for everyone else.
That’s true, you might reduce the risk of team to team spread. But you still would be crowding teammates together on buses, and at team meetings, and in dugouts etc. So if one kid got it the whole team likely would. On top of that, the exposure risk inherent in a school setting would be much greater, in my opinion, than that added by sports. My opinion is that If we decide kids can go back to school in the fall, then we won’t be adding much disease risk by allowing fall sports as well. The only exception is the large crowds these events draw in some places. Would probably need to do something about that.
If the alternative is cancelling fall sports altogether this is a better choice.
It may be easier to do this than try and limit fans.
You can run a track meet with kids in every other lane. Baseball and softball is 3 people at most together at the plate.

There is no way every state will go along with this. What a cluster that would be if some did and some didn’t.
