In June, Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh noted that the players on his team wanted to set an example by following COVID-19 health protocols. “They want to be a force for good, an example when they’re here,” Harbaugh said. A group that wanted to be “part of the solution”.
Michigan players and staff were starting to kick the pandemic in the teeth in recent weeks:
- Zero positive tests out of the last 353 administered.
- Zero positives tests among coaches and staff over all eight weeks of testing.
- No contract tracing to fields, weight room, locker room or facility.
