      LSU offensive line down to four players due to COVID-19 positives and quarantines.

      So are you saying they are better outside or inside their program?

        I didn’t make any assertions either way, just stated the current situation.  Would the same number of players be infected or quarantined if they were at home?  Since it’s impossible to prove a negative, I can’t say.

        The bigger question for me is what happens when this same scenario plays out in week 4 of the season, and happens across multiple teams.  Then what?

            Tell you what?  My opinion?  Ok here goes.

             

            I have no idea.

             

            If they were at home, would these kids be out partying and have a higher risk of getting in trouble and/or infected?  Maybe.  Would an equal number of them recognize the negative impact that would have on their athletic career and choose to stay out of trouble and away from others?   Also maybe.

             

            The reality is probably somewhere in the middle, I expect.

      I’d also add that when I was a college athlete a lifetime ago, there was a hell of a lot more chance of me getting in trouble when I was at school than when I was at home.

      School was all about parties, beer, and general shenanigans, while home was generally about sitting abound being bored.

        Agreed but generally they have a leg up when it comes to healthcare inside the program. That is why I think they play the season with empty stands. Test players day to day.

      Better to get it now and be done with it than during the season. Herd immunity is the way to go.

      An opinion piece I really enjoyed related to this matter: DNews Link

      The irony is pretty real and being exposed heavily in 2020. I blame privilege.  No not of a particular race or sex. Rather the privilege that exists in this country of taking everything you have for granted.

      My mom said that her doctor was “quite handsy” when he tested her last week.
