Here's a Denver Post story that gives some more context on what is going on in Boulder in anticipation of Pac-12 restarting at least some fall sports:

About 1200 students and 12 staff infected. It's the spread to the staff that has me most concerned, of course, since I am an academic staff member at my local UC campus. The article notes that CU is going to remote learning for two weeks, but the challenge will be the reduction of social gatherings amongst the students. The prohibition for 18-22 year-olds is for 14 days, effective this afternoon, although I'm sure it could be extended.
If CU football can't start practice until October 8, I can't imagine them ready to play before mid-November at the earliest. But given that there's an outbreak on campus that needs to be contained, that's not really the top concern right now, of course.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
