I am hopeful, but a couple of things give me pause here. Take the following statement:

quote:

On calls with the White House, Bowlsby says officials have told him that testing nationally will double every month from now on. The Big 12 commissioner estimates that players and staff will need to be tested every two to three days during the season.


How confident are you that this prediction about testing will actually come to pass? This is not an anti-Trump comment; I would be suspicious of any government promise about that dramatic a ramp-up in capacity (we have fallen frustratingly short to this point).

More importantly, when some players and coaches begin to test positive (and they inevitably will), is there a plan to manage that without a freakout that shuts everything down? There should be, but that is my biggest concern. You can be sure that the first positive test for a player will be amplified by media hysteria, and followed by a bunch of virtue-signaling articles about how these big, bad, greedy colleges are forcing players to take their lives in their hands.
