We might not play another basketball game. I know how these things go

63

This is my fear as well

64

Iā€™m speechless. Wow.

65

That language seems pretty promising to me, but I canā€™t seem to shake the reverse jinx so I donā€™t want to get too optimistic

66

We will not play a basketball game for a month. I promise that

67

I think we should all go for a walk

Thereā€™s no chance any other top program would ever do this. We should just realize Michigan is not a sports school. We have too many limitations

I donā€™t think the university has much say in this man

Donā€™t give me that. Warde is a pushover. Ohio state would never let this happen

Hopefully we get the OSU Football treatment and get handed a Championship and Final Four appearance.

Probably should just step away for a Bit

Take a breath and go pet your dog Franz. Thereā€™s nothing we can do

But yeah, I donā€™t see how thereā€™s any science based justification for a blanket 2-week shutdown among groups of people that havenā€™t even interacted with each otherā€¦ Particularly since thereā€™s no way this is going to stamp out the UK strain in Michigan (if the student athlete was irresponsible enough to go to the UK and then spread it to their teammatesā€¦ they almost certainly spread it to others outside the AD).

I could see a mandatory one-week shutdown that teams could test out of, but two-weeks just isnā€™t based on anything.

It seems like everyone is just choosing to ignore you and not engage. But yeah, it would be nice if you stopped.

I like your solution, if the whole teams tests negative, they should be able to play. That seems reasonable.

Yeah there is no expert on this that is going to tell you that it would take two weeks post-exposure to test positive on the PCR. The 14 days is strictly a PR thing.
