I feel like they have renovated like 5 times in the last 10-15 years
Adding to this, I believe the regents are meeting today to discuss how many in attendance. The rumor is 20k.

Clemson announces football and basketball players will return June 8. One more step indicating we'll have a football season that starts on time.
More stuff wrt UM
They expect some level of in-person student instruction
They have backup plans for a huge outbreak (I would hope all schools do)
Capacity will be somewhere between 20-50%
As far as that capacity, apparently Whitmer will have the final say so take that for what it is worth.
Washington AD has been working very hard on that game and it is back in play @jimmymo
The Washington AD has been visiting different venues to learn different processes/policies. Apparently UW is looking hard at how Nascar has been operating since their return.
Michigan players will have daily screening (I'd assume like when we go to doctors offices -- questions/temps?)
Workouts will be in smaller groups

As far as the Big Ten teams...the ones to watch as far as the season starting on time...
Rutgers
Minnesota
Illinois
Northwestern
MSU
UM
Obviously the Michigan schools could be stunted a bit since Whitmer considers 200 cases a day problematic right now
The Illinois numbers are still very high, which is weird since they should be on same timeline as Michigan
Minnesota, that is the highest percentage of LTC deaths on country so...I dunno?
Rutgers...we can do without them.

The Big Ten would probably have to fold without Rutgers holding them up.
Michigan State needs somebody to beat this year. We need Buttgers.

Are offensive linemen at greater risk of COVID-19 complications because of their size?
Many offensive linemen in college football qualify as being severely obese, which experts say could put them at risk of coronavirus complications.

That would be such a huge advantage for Clemson. Could have three true frosh starting on the DL with that much time to get them ready.

Most positive news yet out of the Big 12 today.
Bowlsby, the commissioner, believes the season will start on time. The TCU chancellor joins in and believes the same.
Both expect an announcement from the Football Oversight Committee on Thursday to make it official, and the American Football Coaches Association will join in.
Thing looks more positive every day

Big 12's Bowlsby 'bullish' football to start on time
Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said Friday that he's more "bullish about our opportunity" for the college football season to start on time than he was 30 days ago.

This is referencing Michigan St by the way.
I hope people realize this will happen at every school..this is why we have protocols in place. These kids have not been at home self isolating. Dam Wolken just creamed his pants.

Baylor/Old Miss game moved from Labor Day to Sunday, the 6th, to give it a bigger audience.

I dated a girl who transferred from Baylor to Ole Miss 30 years ago. Said there were way more drugs at Baylor.

I didn't want to put this in capping thread just yet..
But I'm looking at the positive tests coming back for schools...
Heavier in places that had lax restrictions and lighter in tighter restricted states.
This is going to be one heck of an advantage come the season.
Here is the thing... You're going to have guys miss a few weeks with the virus...it's inevitable. Obviously the closer you can get your team to herd immunity, the better.
Texaa having 13 of the team already infected is interesting.
Now, another team (I'll use UM as an example) that has had 0-2 test positive so far (3 sports were tested, and 2 total positive reports) might have more of a chance of an outbreak.
Something to think about.
If I'm a school with cash, I pony up for the Antibody test as well so we know what we're working with.

Where are you seeing that A&M info? That's a big #.
13 Texas players have tested positive.

Sorry I meant Texas and said AM in several spots here.
And of course I didn't do my own math...fucking Rovell 27% tweet got me. Gosh, he's the worst.
Report: 23 Clemson Players Test Positive for COVID-19
Clemson athletics announced Friday that thus far in the month of June, 28 individuals have tested positive for COVID-19.

Terrific news for Clemson
They'll be at herd immunity in no time.
This gonna be so big capping RSWs. Value all over the place.
I get what you're saying, but Clemson rsw already is or will be high.
Other schools, for sure.
Yeah, definitely not on the Tigers.
I'm looking at others. I'm gonna wait and start tracking what I can for a few more weeks.
I'll say, a team having 2 total is not a good sign...but plenty of summer to go.
I saw that and was pretty shocked. That has nothing to do with covid, just lack of trust in their coach overall.
Exactly..
That start last year and it seemed like he was toast but then they rapidly improved and it was a reprieve.. perhaps just a brief one...

The one big concern I have is with colleges overall.....Schools aren't even back in session, I just wonder what the plans are going to be for the dorms, cafeterias, college bars. house parties, classrooms...I mean kids are gonna be kids...and student athletes want to enjoy campus life as well...
Exactly.
Hence, my stance on wanting to get it out of the way.
With that being said, we'll see what will get termed 'outbreaks' at some schools (whether it's 10 or 100 for example) and the media will be all over that.
They are pushing very hard right now to get all sports cancelled. It's pretty amazing stuff going on.
Now, let's use memorial day weekend pool party at Ozarks. One case? That's all that was reported. That's college age kids mostly. So...just one example.

Chicken Little
I still think there is going to be a major push from liberals to not allow college sports at all. In states like Michigan, Oregon, and California I highly doubt that the governors will just go along. With the all knowing Fauci sounding the alarms on pro football where do you think that leaves college.
Expect a big push for all on line classes in these states and with that will come no sports. You guys are crazy to think this will go off without a hitch.

I knew it wouldn't go without a hitch.
I shouldn't be surprised at the reaction to some positive tests.
Did they REALLY think none of these kids would have it or had it?
C'mon.

Exactly. It’s already a disaster there. What can UCLA possibly ever be. That’s a weird program

Chicken Little
You will start to hear that its not safe to open up the schools so the online classes will replace in person sessions and if you can't have classes how can you possibly risk the lives of these players. I am not even certain that the pro leagues will start again but I will be shocked if college football is played in September.
As of today... I think pro football will be played on time.
Cfb, it just depends on what happens on these campuses in the late summer. I can see start dates being pushed back until all students are acclimated, not just student athletes.
Money and politics win 99% of time though
. So it's always fluid.
