I noticed that as well and weighed whether I should mention it. Decided just to leave it alone.

Pitino is suggesting that college basketball be delayed until January and then only play conference games. https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/iona-coach-rick-pitino-suggests-january-start-for-college-basketball-season-amid-coronavirus/ I'm not afraid to say that after the last...

Now it gets serious. Gov Kemp raises the possibility of no college football if Georgians don't take responsibility and get the numbers turned around https://www.ajc.com/blog/politics/kemp-warns-college-football-tall-task-georgians-don-don-masks/2HoT3KvfS0pdRzVsenibZO/ “If people, especially our...

Atlanta HBCU colleges announce their plans for the fall. https://www.ajc.com/news/local-education/spelman-morehouse-clark-atlanta-announce-major-changes-for-return-classes/4iP4JX1b68de2eHQVHvj4M/ Atlanta’s three largest historically Black colleges unveiled plans Wednesday to reopen their...

Liberty, I'm so happy to hear the testing in your area is going well and that testing percentages are staying low - that percentage is way better than the state as a whole and suggests they can hopefully keep things in check in your area. I hope it stays that way for you, your family and your...

I don't think the multiplication factor will go up like it does for flu, but I have no doubt it will go up. First we know alot of deaths were missed early on because we weren't testing. Second, every expert i've seen basically says the counted number is the most conservative one. My guess (and...

So for the first time it gets serious. https://www.ajc.com/blog/politics/kemp-warns-college-football-tall-task-georgians-don-don-masks/2HoT3KvfS0pdRzVsenibZO/ “If people, especially our young people, don’t start wearing a mask when they’re going out in public and our numbers keep rising, that’s...

All i'll add to this is we won't know the real toll for years. i'm highly confident the number of deaths and cases are both higher than officially reported, how much so, that will be for healthcare scientists to figure out like they do for everything else. That is one of the big misconceptions...

Unfortunately that is the exponential growth we've seen with this particular virus over and over. Everything looks ok, just sort of putters along, maybe increases a little and then it explodes. You have to catch it when the numbers are first starting to go up just a little and attack it them...

FWIW, I think Adam Silver has been very good through this. And i think he has the general right idea. They have a well thought out and vetted plan that they are going to put into place and activate. At that point you run with it and see what happens and adjust if you have to (including ending it...

In the name of young adults going to be young adults. Students who know they tested positive are showing up at parties in tuscaloosa.

While you are correct that they have emergency overflow plans, you still have to deal with resource constraints. There is only so many doctors and nurses and they can only work so many hours. There is only so much PPE and medicines. And on a national level we have been unable to restock our...

Thanks Liberty, that is the site I mentioned that I use for hospitalizations in FL.

The lack of plan is what concerns me the most because it is a potential PR nightmare. As we get closer to the season and reporters start reporting on college football and it is presented to the public in a narrative that there is no plan, or that they appear to be taking it less seriously than...

FWIW, here is one sign things might not go well on college campuses this fall, because lets face it, young adults are young adults. I will say this, if I was a professor, i would not be willing to teach an in-person class this fall on a college campus. You think about how many staff there are on...

So the two Senators did introduce the bill on waivers. https://www.si.com/college/2020/06/30/coronavirus-liability-waivers-legislation-student-athletes

I do wish FL would include hospitalizations with their public numbers, though it is publicly available if you know where to look for it. (FL has a public Tableau workbook). Using those numbers FL isn't at a crisis point yet, it is at a point that it should be concerned. As of this afternoon that...

I thought this was a really good read on why Morehouse's President chose to not play football this year and how it may affect other schools at the Div II and Div I level that are in similar circumstances. https://www.si.com/college/2020/06/30/morehouse-college-canceled-season-hbcu-coronavirus...

So many good thoughts. After thinking about this and all the names mentioned here would be my five. Anderson - best ballhandler i've ever seen in person. Price - one of the best shooters ever but much more than that. Absolute assassin on the court, he really hated to lose. Harpring - One of the...
