She must wear her mask in shared areas, she can't have visitors in her dorm room and she must follow social distancing rules. But she pointed out, there is only so much she can do.

"I do have an in-person class, so I have to go to class. I'm going to do my best and practice safety and wear my mask and wash my hands often, but I feel like it's spreading pretty fast," Gurin said.

travis County population

Travis County reports 265 new coronavirus cases, total now 24,409

Luckily, the Texas Longhorn football team does not interact with anyone in travis County so they remain at zero positive tests since their June outbreak.

Austin ICUs are full, and the county remains at Stage Four.

They have gotten it and been quarantined. There's going to be players who test positive for it as the season goes on.. It's expected and the reason why they have the testing in place to isolate those individuals.

It's going to be no surprise that most athletes will be doing virtual learning instead of in person classroom teaching.

Yeah, during practice. A 14 day quarantine during a season schedule is going to throw it off the rails.

A closed campus, also applies to the athletes.

If it's closed, then the season over

NC State just went to all online classes as well.

Of course, most of the kids are going to stay on campus and do the classes online and then hit the bars. So basically this accomplishes nothing.

pretty wild that UNC's semester started about a month before UNC-Charlotte's is scheduled to begin.

NC State just went to all remote classes yesterday after multiple breakout cases on campus. They think fraternity parties is the main culprit.

The bars in NC remain closed but the grocery stores and liquor stores remain open for business.

If they serve food they are open. We went to a brewery last night.
