Fifteen SEC and Big 12 college towns have “uncontrollable” COVID levels. Yet, they plan to host as many as 25,000 fans for a game.

But while the party rages inside, signs of a pandemic bustle outside. Over the last week, Oxford holds the distinction of producing more new cases of COVID-19 a day (85 per 100,000 people) than any other college town whose school is playing football this fall. The state of Mississippi, in fact, has one of the highest seven-day positivity percentages in the U.S. and owns a higher daily infection rate than all but two states. Those two: Louisiana and Florida, also college football hubs planning to soon host games with as many as 25,000 people present.


According to data from the CDC, seven of the top eight states in highest infection rates are home to at least one SEC team, and nine of the league’s 14 college towns are producing enough cases daily to be deemed as sites with “uncontrollable spread,” according to the Harvard Global Health Institute. Harvard’s metric uses a seven-day rolling average of daily new virus cases per 100,000 people. Anything over 25 cases is considered uncontrollable.
