FWIW, NW certainly won't have a Top 3 class when it is all done, that is just due to getting early commits. Also, if you have ever been to Evanston, ILL - Northwestern is surrounded by a swanky suburb. It is a really nice area and the school sits right on Lake Michigan with its own beaches. It's...

Which ones are, I just didn't know of any. Happy to be wrong if someone is.

Under Armour says it is terminating its 15-yr, $280M agreement with UCLA "We have been paying for marketing benefits that we have not received for an extended time period," the company said in a statement. "The agreement allows us to terminate in such an event and we are exercising that right."...

FWIW, Golf is continuing to tighten its bubble a little after another positive test https://golf.com/news/pga-tour-updating-testing-protocol-again/ We just wait and see, College football has the advantage of time on its side and seeing how other leagues fair. My biggest worry in terms of...

I've haven't seen any stats that would support this statement. It's basically a false statement. CDC just released a study through May 30th. In it 1,234 individuals 10-19 have been admitted to the hospital - 2.5% of all testing positive cases. 216 ended up in ICU (that's 0.4% of all testing...

This is one of my favorite charts as it adjusts for both population and time (it starts when cases reach 1 per million people) - US's outbreak started weeks after Europe so this puts them on the same scale. On a per capita basis cases in the US after we stopped the rise we never dropped below...

Right now we are in wait and see. Just keep doing what your doing and we'll see what each week brings. Alot is on the NBA though. If they end up not starting or having to stop, then it will be hard to see any team sport succeed. They are regarded as having the best, most thoughtful protocol for...

i mentioned this in the other thread about how at some point college football is going to have to establish some protocols. NBA's is 113 pages, MLB is over 100. Even golf with its open spaces and individual players has a large protocol. Otherwise as they get closer to the season it is something...

KA and Price would be the first 2 on my list. Scott and Bosh are pretty easy choices as well. It's who do you have as your fifth.

FWIW, Miami is closing down the beaches for July 4th weekend Beaches in Miami-Dade County in Florida will close over the Fourth of July weekend out of concerns for social distancing amid the pandemic. Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez released a statement Friday saying that he will sign an executive...

Saw that yesterday, good piece of news.

Some evening updates. Harris Co, TX (Houston) sent out a Public Safety Alert tonight telling all residents to stay at home except for essential activities. United States is one country whose citizens, along with Russia, Brazil and others that will be barred from traveling to the European...

Good information. Hospitals tend to be fine until they aren't. You watch the trends and everything goes along ok and then it tends to explode. It will obviously depend upon how much it gets into the older population. I could see the delay being longer since it is starting more in younger...

Of course the problem there will be that the players will not be allowed to go to Europe since the United States is not going to be one of the approved countries whose citizens can visit the European Union come July 1st as our current situation does not meet their metrics for entry.

From a college football standpoint this is probably something to watch. This is the first article i've seen advocating for moving College Football to next spring. If cases continue to increase will this idea pick up steam. Also from Yahoo Sports. NBA is basically the test case for sports in...

Florida suspends on-premise alcohol consumption at all bars. Basically like TX they can do take-out and delivery but no in person drinking Also, Mayor of Tuscon, AZ says they have 10 ICU beds left in the city.

As you said, these have been the same basic recommendations for months. That we as a country have largely ignored them is why we are where we are. We have a few weeks to get this under control or it will impact the rest of our summer and our fall and I really would like to avoid that. My son has...

Fortunately it has more time than other sports, but i'm guessing at some point college football is going to have to have a safety protocols document. We know the one for the NBA is 113 pages. MLB started with a 67 page document and it has now grown to over 100 pages...
