Hope it's a false positive. The 21 day rule is insane.

Maybe that's why he was almost perfect the other day.

Rona gives you spidey-senses.

What is the basis for the 21 day rule? There is no rule like that anywhere else in any place or profession.
I thought the big 10 was full of educated elites.

Who the hell came up with the 21 day rule and why are they going against what the CDC recommends?

A lot of teams gonna be fricked if there ends up being an outbreak on one team.

Poor Wisky. Finally have a QB, and they’re going to have to sit him for for half their season.

This 21 day rule is going to ruin that conference season and I think it is by design to prove a point

Think I read somewhere it's the 14 day isolation per CDC recommendation then 7 days for returning to play to make sure there aren't heart issues.

How about he just plays...gives it to everyone on the team...then the entire team is immune and they can just go on with their lives playing football.

Name me 1 Collegiate or Professional athlete CURRENTLY playing (not some 75 year old alum) who has died from this...and this alone. Not they had cancer, etc.

Yup. Even the cdc, which has insane guidelines, isn't that bad.

The way these big ten guidelines are, it'll be a miracle if they make it unless they relax some of the rules.

Why even return to football if you're going to make rules that MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE to play.

Players are going to test positive, like a lot of people and they wouldn't even have known they had it unless they were tested...and they would've kept playing football.

They made the rules so absurd that they are wanting to cause chaos with teams not being able to field enough players in order to prove a point.

Yeah, I don't know why they can't do heart scan to immediately rule out the whole myocarditis worry.

What's really stupid is that coaches that test positive only require 10 day isolation.

So why do coaches have to isolate 4 days fewer than players? Makes no sense.
