This request is for my research study, “COVID-19 Protocols for NCAA Football and the NFL.” My survey includes all NCAA Power 5 conference institutions, including those that are not subject to a FOIA or public information disclosure law.

I respectfully request policies and procedures at your university relating to (1) questionnaires, or similar inquiries, for football student athletes for COVID-19 symptoms and exposure to the virus; (2) criteria to identify high-risk football student athletes, and specialized procedures for them; (3) screening and testing procedures for football student athletes; (4) screening and testing procedures for football student athletes who test positive or are symptomatic for COVID-19; (5) criteria to return football student athletes who test positive or are symptomatic for COVID-19 to regular athletic activities; and (6) contact tracing policies and procedures for football student athletes who test positive or are symptomatic for COVID-19.

My request is only for football policies and procedures. If this information is grouped with other sports, I would accept that more general information. I prefer an email response with a PDF attachment over physical copies of pages sent by mail.
