Difference between B1G and Pac when announcing the shut down: "the Pac 12 put out a comprehensive memo, a twelve page memo saying here is why we are shutting down. The conference commissioner, the athletic director of Arizona State, the conference’s head medical chief all did a press conference explaining the decision. All the coaches came out with statements supporting the decision. The 4 schools in California were not even able to practice. It made sense to shut down sports in the Pac 12."

The B1G ... reasons.

Week 2 in the books without any complete disasters so far.  I bet folks would be more optimistic now than then, I am anyway.

I think this MIGHT work.

But Mullen wants more.

"I know our governor passed that rule, so certainly, hopefully, the UF administration decides to let us pack The Swamp against LSU -- 100% -- because that crowd was certainly a factor in the game,'' Mullen said after the Aggies upset his defenseless Gators.

Mullen was given an opportunity to back down a few minutes later. Instead, he stood by his comments.

"Absolutely want to see 90,000 in The Swamp," he said. "I don't think the section behind our bench, I didn't see an empty seat. It was packed. The student section, there must have been 50,000 behind our bench going crazy. Hopefully that creates a home-field advantage for us next week because now we passed a law in our state that we can do that. We want our students out there cheering us on to give us that home-field advantage.''

Just four days before they are scheduled to play LSU, the No. 10 Florida Gators have put football activities on hold due to a coronavirus outbreak.

Florida's football program, including players, coaches and personnel, has had 19 positive tests over the past several days, a source told ESPN's Andrea Adelson, confirming a report by The Independent Florida Alligator.

The school announced earlier Tuesday that it has five new cases.

"The University of Florida football team has experienced an increase in positive COVID tests among players this week," Florida athletic director Scott Stricklin said in a statement. "Out of an abundance of caution, team activities are paused as of Tuesday afternoon.

I wonder what the implications might be for the Aggies, who Florida played last weekend?  That's a lot of positives all of a sudden, it seems likely many of those players were infected when the TAMU-UF game occurred on Saturday.  

If this thing is actually capable of spreading between teams on the field during a game, then this could be a time where that occurs.

Multiple SEC schools will have revenue from the conference deducted as a result of not following proper COVID-19 protocols, sources told ESPN.

According to a memo sent by SEC commissioner Greg Sankey last week, schools will have their conference revenue distribution cut by $100,000 for each week that they do not follow protocols.


The memo, which was obtained by ESPN, also said that suspensions will be considered for failure to comply.

Underlined and bolded for emphasis, Sankey wrote, "Do not relax -- and do not let those around you relax -- because of a few weeks of success."

I am getting a bad vibe that we're on the cusp of a shut down.

Yeah. Purdue fans went through the "Rondale opt out" to "no B1G football" to "B1G football is back but what about Rondale?" to "Rondale's back!"

Don't take it away, dude!
