9. It's not really about HIPAA.

They were previously reporting along the lines of "we had 14 players test positive for COVID-19 this week." They weren't releasing names.
They're going to stop doing even that and treat COVID cases like injuries in terms of public disclosure. So if quarterback John Doe has tested positive, he'll just appear on the team's "injured reserved list" and they won't say anything about why.
The real question is... with teams likely doing testing internally... are their COVID cases still reported to the appropriate county and state health agencies? They should still do that even if they aren't telling the sports media "we had 11 new cases this week."

NCAA needs to issue a policy that all teams must release that info. I can understand a coach saying Hoyt Sep 2020 #3
They MUST do this. This is NOT an injury, as is being stated. This is a pandemic level crisis Ferrets are Cool Sep 2020 #5

Reporting should be a condition of playing. No report, no games Takket Sep 2020 #16
