Both sports and schools are coming to grips with the importance of well-designed protocols for Covid testing and, equally important, action plans covering the results of the testing. The various levels can be seen as including people with varying degrees of maturity. This is reflected in their degree of adherence to the personal standards required of them.
Pro sports probably tops the list of those who know what's at stake and who are willing to follow the protocol requirements. Grade school children may well be at the other end of the spectrum, though a case can be made for college freshmen, too. College sports probably fall somewhere in the middle of the spectrum.

Regards, stay safe 'n well. Remember the Big 3: masks, hand washing and physical distancing.

Money is going to win until the outcry gets too loud, imo.

College towns depend on the revenues produced by football. Hotels and restaurants have already taken such a massive hit because of the pandemic, but I just don't see how social distancing in a stadium can work.

Nobody needs to watch sports or go to bars or concerts, so that can all stay shut down as far as I'm concerned (provided the owners of those businesses are fairly compensated by the government, that is).
On the other hand, kids need education and there's no substitute for in-person learning. But there's got to be a happy medium between the two extremes. For instance, there's no reason to fill up college lecture halls with hundreds of students just to listen to a professor speak and draw on the board while not really interacting. That can just as easily be done online from their dorms/apartments. But they could continue smaller group classes, and maybe hold them in the lecture halls instead of the smaller classrooms, so people can spread out and stay masked up.
Elementary and secondary schools could have mostly video-streaming classes, but perhaps have kids go in to school one day a week for a few hours (staggered) so they can get some in-person interaction with other kids and their teachers in small groups, with proper distancing and less overall risk than they'd get from cramming all the kids into the schools at once.
