Barry Alvarez interview on Bg Ten Network very confusing

Key comments:

  • self imposed pause 
  • Could have played but chancellor called them off
  • All players are quarantined in a hotel 

This smacks of Wisconsin trying to avoid loses versus protecting players.  How can they shut it down when not required by the B1G definitions ?  Should they take a forfeit ?  Interested in the Board’s views.  Thanks

I believe the thinking behind the decision was not play the Nebraska game, get things under control and that way Wisconsin would only miss one game. Wisconsin went from 1 positive test on Friday to 12 positive tests by Wednesday (6 players - 6 staff members (includes coaches)).
