The Austin American-Statesman reports that Texas Longhorns students will be required to pass a free COVID-19 testing before they can buy a ticket to Saturday’s game against UTEP.
From the Statesman: “School officials have set aside about 3,000 student seats — roughly 25% of its normal allotment. To get one of those tickets, a UT student must first log on to a special site called the ‘Big Ticket COVID-19 Test Consent’ and answer questions. The form asks for each student’s name, UT ID number, sex, race and ethnicity along with general release questions allowing a company to collect a sample through a nasopharyngeal swab.
