... but only one playing at Big Ten level. 😈

Koepsell is about to be even more important to Nebraska’s testing efforts. Koepsell will be the interim director of a coronavirus testing lab NU plans to set up in East Stadium at the Nebraska Athletic Performance Lab. There, the Huskers will conduct rapid-response, point-of-care antigen testing currently used in professional sports and soon to be implemented in the Pac-12, which last week announced a long-term agreement with Quidel.

Through a contract with Vivature, which has partnered with Quidel, Nebraska has already received 1,200 test kits. NU will get Quidel’s Sofia-2 Analyzer machine by the end of this week and expects to incorporate the antigen testing into existing testing protocols by the end of next week.

The antigen test, which can utilize a less-invasive swab in the front of the nose, could be administered to players, coaches and staff the night before a game — in the hotel, for example — and tested for immediate results at the NAPL.

Having the materials in East Stadium, Lambrecht said, is “a huge advantage” for Nebraska.

Nebraska’s planning to accommodate its opponents, too.

“We’re building our protocol so that it can support two teams on game day,” Lambrecht said.

It’s not clear what the Big Ten’s testing supply plan might be, as it has not announced, like the Pac-12, any conference-wide approach. On Sept. 1, President Donald Trump had a phone call with Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren, reportedly about providing testing supplies. The federal government has ordered 150 million tests from Abbott, which is currently fulfilling that massive stockpile order before taking other orders.

About a third of college athletic trainers said their athletes were fully following COVID-19 safety protocols, and less than half reported that coaches and staff were in full compliance, according to a survey conducted by the National Athletic Trainers' Association.

The survey of about 1,200 athletic trainers across college divisions showed that 59% of respondents said athletes were "somewhat" following COVID-19 protocols, and 46% said coaches and staff were somewhat following safety measures.

Week 5 of Utah HS FB tonight, with no signs of slowing down or limiting crowd size. Same goes for the rest of their Fall sports.

Any spread or fallout from any of that, amongst players or coaches or other personnel involved?

Yeah I can look at the statewide trends, but was wondering about local specifically, and especially age group data, and even more specifically if any teams/schools were seeing spread they could track back to these activities.

We have that granularity for Austin/Travis County and the 10-19 and 20-29 numbers are climbing some right now, though not anything like we saw across the 20-70 age groups back in June/July.

The most popular guess in the voting (tied) has obviously not been correct as we started the season.  Some of the other guesses overlap obviously, not a very good poll.
