True. It is also why you can't extrapolate them to all

Just because one school is beyond stupid, doesn't mean every other school is beyond stupid.

Also, we need to follow what happens overall at Houston going forward.

- Does this 6 turn into 46, etc?
- Did they catch this quickly (something not possible in January) and it stops at these 6?
- Do any of these 6 people require hospitalization -- or do they simply get sick and quickly recover? For that matter, are these 6 really even all sick or did they test positive and didn't even know they were sick?

- Does anyone else not on the team get COVID from one of these 6 people?

This is critical. Why? Because if the answer is no, then it proves my point that each college campus is a self contained biosphere that is far better controlled than the general public can be controlled. Each school can lock down the "4 corners" of the campus, enforce PPE within the campus for workers much like a hospital would, and in effect make it very hard for COVID to leave the campus or spread within it.

If the answer is yes, then we have to see if they are equally stupid -- allowing players to leave campus, etc or if they were smart and my theory is wrong.


A point in my post you completely didn’t address, or...

overlooked. They didn’t test each student/athlete upon return to not allow positive students to return because of cost. Cost. If that isn’t misfeasance, or malfeasance, I don’t know what is. My tort professor Charles Rice is turning over in his grave.


What if you have part time students (grad or undergrad)?

Like the type that work during the day, go to night classes and then go home to their families.

What are you going to do with them? Test them every time they step on campus?


The greater question for me is when is the individual ...

responsible for their own safety, as opposed to a money making operation of an educational entity responsible to protect its workers. Big time college sports has transitioned to a business that funds many, if not most aspects of the athletic budget. Aren’t the employees entitled to a safe working environment ?
