SMU game cancelled

[PurpleBlood87]

Not wrong, but they’re probably testing more aggressively than other programs.

That is exactly what I thought. That other schools don't have the financial support to do as much testing.

I agree with the resistance to succumb to pressure to close but given your numbers I’m inclined to ask why TCU students appear to be more susceptible to COVID infection than other schools. I have employees who have recently taken kids to school at A&M, Bama, and OU and they all said there were masses of people in close proximity.

On the other hand, I know a kid that went to a juco in NM to play ball and was quarantined in a hotel room without a window for 14 days...got out last Sunday and tested positive on Thursday.

Just a guess here, but I’d assume it has to do with two percentages: the percentage of students that live on campus, and the percentage of students involved in Greek life. TCU started a week early and I’m guess the unofficial fraternity rush events and sorority bid day parties led to a lot of the spread. The general back to school parties happened everywhere of course, those are just two things somewhat unique to tcu that might contribute to the difference.

TCU also isn’t a regional university. I haven’t heard much about Alabama as a state having too many issues with the virus. There isn’t as much tourism, or kids coming from other parts of the country as TCU. TCU has kids from all over.

Plus TCU is smaller, more compact, so I imagine that it has a higher rate of testing than other schools.

Alabama is significantly further away than Texas in restoring “return to workplace” at my company and it’s not really close.

Apparently a Penn State doctor said in a meeting that 30-35% of Big Ten athletes who tested positive for COVID-19 had signs of myocarditis in cardiac MRI scans, including athletes who were otherwise aymptomatic for the virus.

You might want to dig into that a little deeper than “apparently.”

Hahaha come on man.

What if you are a small college. Can't afford testing. Your team doesn't have symptoms. Do you just play every week?

If you’re a small college, the NCAA or your conference most likely cancelled your season anyways.

He clarified that it was only 15% which apparently is a more than acceptable rate to those on this board.

I cannot be bought. Promises made, promises kept.

Then it’s high time you had that ***CLASSIFIED*** material RE-certified by a qualified eyewitness.

Actually he clarified that it was something he had heard but wasn't based in fact. And no Penn State cases of myocarditis were found.

The report he refers to states 15% rate and does include PSU in the stats.

Odd that some folks are still pushing the Penn State sham since it was reveales to not the the case several days ago.

Wikileaks has it

What source are you citing? The headline reads:

Penn State says no players have myocarditis.

 

[Moose Stuff]

The report he refers to states 15% rate and does include PSU in the stats.

The headline literally says no Penn St players have it.

Jeez, you guys and facts.

Actually Alabama is a hotspot for the virus and per capita is not in a good position per the cdc.
