When can we close this thread?

When we actually play a game.  I wouldn't count anything as a guarantee this year until it actually happens.

Also of note Bo Pelini apparently monitoring situation very closely.

This seems bad.

This seems bad.

This is where I have to give the B1G leadership some credit. They've theoretically put in place a plan that can prevent this from happening in their league with the daily testing and other plans. I think the SEC was only doing 3 tests per week which leaves a lot of room for a kid to be positive around teammates before they are tested.

Also, I know on its face the 21 day minimum restriction for players testing positive seems extreme, but I think it may have been a deterrent. Several Nebraska players have already mentioned how they don't even want to risk it because you'll miss a third of the season. It might help cut back on the players who are cavalier outside of the program and help push a bubble mentality for players who want to play.

The SEC's it'll be fine approach seems to be backfiring.

The insistence that we need to play football was and is still a mistake.

The insistence that we need to play football was and is still a mistake. 

Why?  Because a prominent coach tested positive?

It seems to me that the vast majority of people involved have been fine and the programs and conferences have put in place pretty intense safety structures.

Nick Saban is only 5"6".  Is he even man enough to fight off covid?

You seem to suggest that he received this by being around football and would not if he wasn't. Lol

Thanks to a party, 40 kids in Gretna have tested positive this week. 

Also, a Harvard study is recommending a stay-at-home order for Nebraska: https://www.klkntv.com/harvard-puts-nebraska-in-the-red-zone-suggesting-a-stay-at-home-order/?fbclid=IwAR0Fg7wY8sluoZd61gWvt39ayqgUMgzWYij5QODpzmi-RmpY56n39iTd6xs
