The main takeaway is negative tests aren't a get-out-of-quarantine-free card. Jon Wilner asked the city a hypothetical: If someone tests negative every day for 13 days while in quarantine, do they still have to quarantine for the 14th day? The answer is yes because of CDC definitions of close contact and quarantine recommendations.

Another notable thing: Some Pac-12 sources believe processes on the West Coast are more stringent than other regions in the country because of how Covid-19 has been politicized.
You're right: The university and the football program are not happy about the city's requirements. On a call with reporters late last week, Coach Wilcox expressed frustration that Covid-19 protocols are so different across the country.
Coach Wilcox also expressed disappointment about the close contact that required the self-quarantine because the university's protocols and training set up was created with input from the city's public health guidelines. For example, players are set up more than six feet (CDC defines close contact as within six feet for more than 15 minutes) apart. It appears Cal tried to do everything right to protect their players' health and limit the spread of Covid-19.
