If Wisky has more than 11 positives that are still positive come Friday, game is cancelled. Don't know what the magic number for Nebraska is, but I'd wager it's similar considering the finite number of tests each team has per day. https://badgerswire.usatoday.com/2020/10/27/wisconsin-badgers-football-covid-19-positive-tests-nebraska-game-cancellation/ I thought it wasn't just the roster, and it included coaching staff, support staff, and other people involved with the day-to-day activities of the team. I could be wrong though, the 5% number was always confusing to me, because it was unclear who would be counted in the denominator of the calculation. Quote Link to comment

Yes, that magic number includes staff, players, and coaches. Each team has a finite number of daily tests (remember how we were hitting that ceiling thanks to our walk-ons?) so I'd wager our own magic number isn't too far off that. 8 minutes ago, rocketlb said: Not to be nit-picky, but the math comes to 10.95 players (@ 7.5% of the population) which means - as far as I understand it - if they have 11 players/coaches test positive on the 7-day rolling average that game won't be played. No, you're not and you're right--it's 11 or more staff, coaches, or players. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 As Sam points out, it matters greatly why they would cancel. They could just be out 7 days and play their next game. Or they could be out 21 days. Hard to say. Quote Link to comment
B.B. Hemingway Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Sounds like Chryst and Co don't want to go with a 4th string Quarterback.... Quote Link to comment

VectorVictor Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 BTW, if Wisky cancels on us, Marshall is available: Quote Link to comment

schriznoeder Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 This is why the league needed to get their a$$es in gear and get the season started two weeks earlier so we could have two byes worked in. 4 Quote Link to comment

GBRFAN Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 1 hour ago, Toe said: The completely unsurprising result of trying to play 9 weeks in a row with no opportunity to reschedule games. The way the Big10 set it up with a 21 day period missing one game with an outbreak means missing 2/3 games guaranteed - so they saw no reason to build in breaks. Also they had no interest in starting or finishing a season. Sounds like in some cases the average could get them back after a week.... Quote Link to comment

So since Mertz tested positive on Saturday, he would be eligible for Michigan in two weeks (Saturday being Day 1 so that Friday would be Day 21). Not sure when the others were tested (probably later). Quote Link to comment
