The SEC on Friday unveiled details of its medical protocols for fall sports, with football, volleyball and soccer players to be "tested for COVID-19 at least twice a week." Also, games "could be canceled or postponed if virus outbreaks in the local community are considered exceptionally high." The SEC "will centralize testing through a third-party provider," using PCR testing initially. Each institution must designate a COVID-19 “protocol oversight officer.” Athletes who opt out of fall sports "will continue to have their scholarships honored" (ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION, 8/7).
