Last month before the Big Ten shut down the fall football season, Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh made it clear the program was adhering to COVID-19 safety protocols and believed his team should have the opportunity to play.
“As Darryl Conway, our Chief Medical Officer and a member of the Big Ten’s Medical Advisory Group has stated, ‘I wish that others could see this model,’” Harbaugh said then.
Over two weeks later, the data is now indicating Harbaugh and U-M practiced what they preached. The football program has had zero positive coronavirus cases in the month of August.
