7 is .1% of scholarship players so yeah that seems very likely
We're going on 2.7 million reported cases so far. Let's say reporteds are 20 percent of actual (which is pretty conservative imo), which puts our actual infection number at 13.5 million. Let's assume 10 percent of those are in the 15-24 demographic for which we have death totals from the CDC -- which again is pretty conservative given demographics and behavior.
That would put us at about 1.35 million infections for 15-24 year olds. CDC says 132 deaths so far for 15-24 year olds. 132/1.35m=.0001 of actual infections result in death for 15-24 year olds.
Let's assume 100 players per team and 128 teams = 12800 players. Let's assume 80 percent of CFB players get Covid (pretty aggressive estimation) = 10,240 infections of CFB players.
10240*.0001=~1 covid death out of 12800 players. This assumes CFB players carry the same risks and benefits as the general public and assumes my (what I view as overly conservative) assumptions above are reasonable.
In my defense I'm not a scientist and I never advanced past college algebra and there's a very good chance I screwed up these numbers.
