That link to the the COVID 19 model has been updated and is up and running again. Sounds like they are updating it daily as new data comes in. Right now it has a mean US deaths through Aug 4 of 82,141 with a lower bound of 39,174 and an upper bound of 141,995. It assumes that all states...

FWIW, the social distancing guidelines have been officially extended to April 30th by President Trump and he said if the death total stays below 100,000 everyone will have done a good job. By the way this is a really cool model from the Institute for Health Metrics at the University of...

FWIW, Dr. Fauci was on CNN this morning and his prediction on total deaths in the US from COVID 19 is between 100,000-200,000. One last note about trying to play sports. Remember that even after the mitigation measures are relaxed, the expectation is they are going to have to be reinstated...

One other note. Don't assume the China numbers are anywhere near accurate. The Chinese magazine Caixin is reporting that the deaths in Wuhan are at least 10 times higher than the official numbers. Radio Free Asia is currently estimating deaths in China at over 42,000. "Since March 23, 3,500...

I would be very surprised if college football is practicing in late July. Universities aren't even sure if students will be allowed back this fall. They pretty much expect students to not be on campus this summer which would make late July an impossibility. Sometime is August is the earliest I...

Part of the reason i don't think there will be fall sports - or least not a full season is due to the Olympics being postponed last week. That is a big tell. That was supposed to run from July 24 - Aug 9 in a country with a relatively few cases. Football practices usually start in the fall...

I'm just going with the assumption there will not be sports in the fall. I figure if I accept that now and there are actually sports than I get to be pleasantly surprised. if not, i've already come to terms with it. I do wonder what SEC fans are going to be like though if they do shorten or...

Here is a good series of articles about how COVID-19 is affecting college sports. This first one talked to over 20 college basketball coaches, AD's and Presidents's including Pastner...

My belief is the answer to that is no. He lasted less than 2 years as an asst at GA St and went back to HS coaching. i would expect the same results or worse than Young's at Southern.

Young has already been the HC there once and had a 34% winning percentage. I'll be surprised if Young is the HC at FSU once Hamilton retires. Rumors there have always centered more around Andy Enfield. I expect White to do about as well as Young if that is who they hire.

First look at how the loss of the tournament is going to affect revenue. https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/ncaas-annual-distribution-to-division-i-schools-to-be-225-million-down-from-expected-nearly-600-million/ NCAA is going to dole out $225M. Before the cancellation of the...

Louisville recruit - JUCO Jayden Scrubb has declared for the draft.

Neither of those prospects are rated. One is a JUCO.

And despite the talent he has brought into Western KY he's never finished higher than a tie for 2nd and has made one NIT in 3 seasons.

The answer for this is pretty simple. They are not going to approve of the extra year for winter sports.

FWIW, there was a good article on CBSSports yesterday on the slow coaching changes. It had interesting perspectives from both sides. The AD side I had thought about. Not being able to meet in person, maybe not having the funds anymore. But I hadn't thought much about it from the coaches side...

It was originally supposed to be voted on this Spring. Not sure that is going to happen now. one issue they hadn't resolved with it the last time I read about it is whether it would go into effect immediately or be phased in at a future date.

The last basketball player who transferred to GT from UGA was Daniel Miller. His family is a legacy family at UGA. When Mark Fox got the job there Miller had signed in the that recruiting cycle. Fox told him he didn't think he was an SEC level player and would help him transfer. So he ended up...

I'm not excited, but as others have said, Coach Rev has been very good with big men. Howard has size and height - that is a starting point. He actually needs to condition up and become skilled as well. Biggest concern for next year is not even whether he is able to play, it is how much time...

Funny tweet in response to the BC news
