We are always attuned to the fact that that can happen so this is not surprising to us. We’re ready. We’re prepared to look for myocarditis and feel comfortable in the knowledge of what happens to somebody who does get it and what we need to do. There is some really good evidence in sports medicine behind how to recover from myocarditis as an athlete. Our plans reflect that.”

“I would say we have seen enough to develop a safe plan. They have not,” she said. “Our plan was earlier. Our plan was based on an experience that they had not had yet. And we implemented that plan faster than they did for that reason, so we could prepare for this. So we feel confident in our plan. I think our football teams can absolutely get through this. I think our athletic departments can absolutely get through this. I worry about our community and outside forces that we can’t control.”

Sounds like we’re based in reality and they’re not.

Influenza has a higher death rate than Covid in 20 year olds and younger. That's reality.

People don’t have a clue how much more close medical attention athletes will get than if they were just another student.

Ya, but does he have a blue checkmark on Twitter?

I saw that Mike Tyson is planning a comeback. Whoops. Wrong thread. Sorry.

You really should not post if you cannot add anything meaningful to the conversation Scioto. Your attempt at humor is as bad as Ohio State’s decision to cancel their season. You both look foolish.
Hope you enjoy watching LSU in the playoffs again this year. Too bad Ohio State will not be there also. Maybe next year.

I think this has always been the worry. They’re not living in a “bubble”. It’s not just a single campus or community. It’s 14 campuses and communities.
Hope for the best!

Does it? Link? And not because I'm doubting you but so I can use it for future discussions.

I hear you, I’m ready to put a big pot of chili on watch the lame noon games, the 3:30 et CBS game, 7pm prime time and I won’t miss the west coast games because I’ve never watched them.
