Rather easy to understand the reasons.. really it boils down to one agenda.. Those allowing locally recommended restrictions are predominantly red states while those restricting attendance are predominantly blue states. Personally, I'm fine with either decision provided the athletes and staffs remain safe and healthy. Better safe than sorry right?

I don't understand the reasons.  What motivation does either political party have to piss off the majority of their population?  I know many people from both sides of the red/blue line that are so over the restrictions that don't make sense.  How does fan attendance in a giant open air stadium play a part in player or staff health?  Maybe the guy taking tickets will have to wear some PPP but that is no different than a Walmart cahier.  To me this is about control from the B1G and it has absolutely nothing to do with the health and safety of anyone.

They are doing their end of winter conditioning testing this week. Sounds like they are strongly considering releasing a list of the top performers. Frost has talked about that a couple years ago.

Let's get some numbers! I love data

I used to love that with the old Husker Power.  Hope they start doing this regularly.

meh, since May of 2020 after 5 weeks + of total lockdown and not letting my kids do squat and totally buying into the 15 days to slow the spread starting March 15 or so...I said F it.. I gotta work and travel, gotta provide and at least try.

 

But since May 22, 2020...

 

I’ve been to Miami/Islamorada 5 times, New York 4 times, Nashville 6 times, Dallas twice, Iowa once, Ft Collins a dozen times, Charlotte once, Chicago once , Seattle twice, and LA once along with Orlando and Las Vegas once each. 
like 33  flights/segments  to 11 different cities across less than a year. Spent over 68 days in several cities in less than a year. Which would’ve normally been 90-110 days in those cities. And I didn’t do Jack s#!t for like 40 days. I’m self employed and woulda lost my whole job and family income if I didn’t try. 
Very secluded in some parts and very partied and open in others. Always cautious,  always obeyed the “rules” wherever I was at. 
 

I’ve been tested 6 times and always negative. 
 

this has been bulls#!t since the beginning. Let the parts that want to be open and actually live, do it. The rest can go f#&% themselves. 
 

let localities decide. We need to be open and easy to pack Memorial full tilt. 
 

(I know personally over 35 people that had Covid, 2 died {both were 70+ and had bad, real bad health} but everyone else younger than 70 were just fine). 

Cool story brah

So a 5.7% mortality rate.  Meh

I don't think this is about control.  Michigan has seen their cases climb since the last week of February.  I think the B1G is taking a let's wait and see approach.  It's only March.  A lot can change between now and September.  There are still a lot of unknowns with regards to the different vaccines and the variants.

So because one location has seen cases climb, they want to make sure nobody can benefit by their lowering number of cases?  That is control, period.  The B1G officials are not health experts and have no business overriding local health experts.  The decisions they are making are not about the health and safety of the athletes and staff.  Those players and coaches are already going to be practicing together regardless of the number of people sitting 100's of feet away watching.
