With the Covid-19 pandemic now four months into severely impacting the United States, and with the news late Saturday of Rutgers suspending all workouts and quarantining its entire football team due to six new positive Covid-19 tests, followed by the NJ state Health Commissioner reporting the true number of positive tests is actually fifteen, we felt it made sense to reset and update readers of this site about where we feel things stand with respect to college athletics as a whole.
I studied Biology at Rutgers back in the day, and since then, I’ve spent over a decade working in industry research — while I readily admit I’m not an expert in public health or epidemiology, I have been following the science closely on this issue since the outset and I’m hoping it is helpful to summarize how things are going (and how college sports are impacted).
