Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons will not opt back in for 2020, coach James Franklin says.

so, it seems most kids are back with their teams.  Not as scared as they were a few months ago.

IMO, that is the most telling thing.  You can question the motivations of schools, ADs, coaches, etc, but guys like Bateman, Moore and Mayfield coming back is a great sign.  They can probably only hurt their future prospects by returning, and under "similar" circumstances a couple months ago, decided it wasn't worth it.  They've changed their mind, with no change in incentives, other than apparently feeling much better about the protocols now vs. then.

apparently, the Minnesooota Vikings are going to open their facility and practice tomorrow

I guess the D tackle that tested positive didn't transmit the virus to the undersized Viking center, Bradbury, that was brutalized the  entire game

Length of contact is a factor, and Bradbury was barely ever near him for long

yup, usually got tossed on his back side within a few seconds

I watched the recorded game last night instead of the debacle or the Yanks game

The NCAA granted him a waiver. Jalen Mayfield at Michigan did the same thing and also got a waiver. There are a lot of waivers being issued on these grounds.

Quote
Coach Brian Kelly, speaking with ESPN on Tuesday, said doctors had determined the recent COVID-19 outbreak was linked to the team eating a pregame meal together before the Sept. 19 game against South Florida, as well as one player vomiting on the sideline during the game.
“Throughout our entire time together, we had not had one meal where we sat down together,” Kelly told ESPN. “Everything was grab-and-go. We get into our game situation where we have a pregame meal together, and that cost us. Big.
"We had somebody who was asymptomatic, and it spread like wildfire throughout our meeting area, where we were eating, and then it got guys in contact tracing.”


Yikes.

Could be.  But might not be.

I'd be interested to hear the details regarding the environment of that pregame meal.

I'm not sure I'm buying it.  It could just as easily be:

"Several players attended a house party.  They were passing around beer bongs and hooking up with randos.  But then they tested positive, knew the coaches would blast them, and blamed it on a pregame meal."

Like I said, I'm curious about the environmental conditions of that pregame meal.  Did they have 150 players and staff. plus 25 unknown servers, crammed into the interior dining room of a hotel, with poor circulation and no mask-wearing by the staff?  'Cause that's about the only situation I see where it could spread like that, and if that's what it looked like, then they're idiots.

But I'm not so sure they'd enter into a situation like that and just let it ride.

I blame Coach Kelly and the ignorant folks running Irish football if this report is accurate
