BenVom - thank you for protesting. It is all you!!!
September 16th, 2020 at 9:45 AM ^
Where's the explicit "thank you" to the President, who got this done?
ART OF THE DEAL

HP - his thank you comes in 7 weeks or so: you know EXACTLY what I mean.

This is a good idea! The population positivity rate can be used as a carrot and stick to incentivize students to keep community spread down. Sparty, right now, might have some trouble getting on the field.
*****
The Big Ten Conference will use data provided by each Chief Infection Officer (CInO) to make decisions about the continuation of practice and competition, as determined by team positivity rate and population positivity rate, based on a seven-day rolling average:
- Team positivity rate (number of positive tests divided by total number of tests administered):
- Green 0-2%
- Orange 2-5%
- Red >5%
- Population positivity rate (number of positive individuals divided by total population at risk):
- Green 0-3.5%
- Orange 3.5-7.5%
- Red >7.5%
Decisions to alter or halt practice and competition will be based on the following scenarios:
- Green/Green and Green/Orange: Team continues with normal practice and competition.
- Orange/Orange and Orange/Red: Team must proceed with caution and enhance COVID-19 prevention (alter practice and meeting schedule, consider viability of continuing with scheduled competition).
- Red/Red: Team must stop regular practice and competition for a minimum of seven days and reassess metrics until improved.
The daily testing will begin by September 30, 2020.

If Sparties are fsced with a choice between going to the Thursday kegger and seeing their team get boatraced on Saturday, I don’t think they’ll be choosing the latter.

Greed wins. (somewhat /s)
I'm just curious about this testing protocol. I took my first covid test today (saliva based) and it appeared very easy to manipulate this test into a false negative (any method to dilute one's spittle just before testing - the test was very specific not to eat/drink 30min prior). Not that any team/players would ever do such a thing...

The return of football is a cause for celebration!
September 16th, 2020 at 9:41 AM ^
As a fan who enjoys following college football, I completely agree (and I will watch if/when it happens).
As a person interested in overall public health (and also the integrity/purpose of our university beyond revenue sports)... I'm not sure this is the best move.
We'll see, I suppose.

I understand. But I wonder if that Agee guy is just pissed now.
September 16th, 2020 at 9:31 AM ^
AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
September 16th, 2020 at 9:34 AM ^
The B1G Release is sooo satisfying!
September 16th, 2020 at 9:36 AM ^
Waiting sometimes makes it better.

The Presidents were pleasured until their B1G Release
September 16th, 2020 at 10:38 AM ^
