Can the NBA's example of a bubble be followed in college athletics? North Carolina football head coach Mack Brown thinks it's easier said than done.

00:00 >> Here, I think that we're all learning from baseball and
00:05 men's and women's pro basketball and football will teach us
00:09 something when the NFL starts coming back and soccer.
00:14 So the bubble theory is obviously working.
00:17 That's hard for us.
00:19 And what we've talked to our team about is,
00:22 that's the only way it looks like it works is you've got to be in a bubble.
00:27 Even when you're up on campus, we've got 19,000 students coming back here pretty
00:30 soon.
00:32 So the fact that we can't put them all in a dorm and keep them there and
00:36 not let them out and we can't do what the NBA has done.
00:40 But at the same time, there's got to be such a level of leadership on your team
00:46 and discipline on your team and trust right now.
00:50 We're not practicing with our strength and conditioning group,
00:54 our workouts are meeting tomorrow or Sunday.
00:58 Some of the guys want to go home, we can't keep them from going home.
01:02 But if they go home, they've got to understand, you've got to wear your mask
01:05 and you've got to go by the guidelines and you got to wash your hands and
01:08 keep your social distancing.
01:10 And so we've told them we can make you do that around us.
01:14 You've got to be disciplined enough and care enough about your teammates and
01:18 your staff to do it when we're not around.
01:20 And it's never been more important for you to do things right when we're not
01:24 around, and that'll be a big test for our guys this weekend.
