For those that hope there will be college football this fall, Rutgers is now the fifth Big Ten program to shutdown voluntary offseason workouts due to multiple COVID-19 positive test results. The athletic department released the following statement on Saturday afternoon.
“Since returning to campus on June 15, Rutgers Football has experienced four positive tests for COVID-19. Today, we learned of six additional positive COVID-19 results in our latest weekly testing cycle. As a result, we have paused all in-person team activities, quarantined our entire program and will work diligently with Rutgers medical experts, and state and local officials to determine next steps.
