With college football starting as soon as August 29th, there are teams returning to campus for voluntary and mandatory workouts across America. And that will often mean outbreaks of Covid-19 that will cause teams to stop practicing or having any team activities whatsoever.
While several teams have quarantined and come out with no issues, this is a list of teams that aren’t able to practice as of right now because of outbreaks of Covid-19. We’ll add and subtract from this list as we see teams stop and start practices.
The NCAA Board of Governors decided to allow each of their three divisions to choose whether championships will take place in each sport, but the NCAA Division I Council will decide on the fate of FBS college football which is separately governed.
Rutgers
Here's why return-to-campus is going to be so hard.

The entire Rutgers football team (Big Ten) is in quarantine. 28 players have tested positive for covid, along with 'several staff.'
The cases stem from a single on-campus party among Rutgers athletes.https://t.co/fMmco9kVHh
Northwestern
Northwestern pauses football workouts following a positive COVID-19 test result. University is working through contact tracing and quarantine protocols.

Ohio State, Indiana, Rutgers, Maryland and Michigan State have also paused at some point this summer.
UConn
UConn has canceled their 2020 football season.
UCLA
While not under quarantine now, it’s likely the Bruins will be shortly.
LA County Health Director just said eight UCLA football players tested positive for COVID-19.
