If the decision came with a set plan going forward where they laid out the plan for the next twelve months I’d feel better. We’ve seen most Co Vid related protocols are written in disappearing ink. I hope in December the consensus isn’t the Big 10 overreacted.

Other than MD and Rutgers, everyone else is receiving full shares of B1G money, right? So this comes down to the same issues as why Purdue has less than stellar facilities, not wanting/being willing to spend it in the "right" areas. But yeah, the B1G absolutely should have gone around in April and set a conference-wide policy and made sure the schools were actually sticking to it and assisting if they needed (there are reports that PSU was having a lot of difficulty getting tests processed in a timely manner, for example).

Yeah it just doesn’t have to be this difficult. Where’s the plan? It’s either being hidden or there isn’t one. This is what drives the distrust, dissent, and constant questioning.

What if I gave you millions of dollars.....but it meant that people you'll never meet in your life didn't trust you?

This goes with what I heard about PSU. Not all these teams were getting tests back in time, making it useless from week to week. Testing only matters when you have 24-48 hr turnarounds and then tracing to make sure you have everyone that came in contact with that player/person.

Agree, although I have to think it's harder than we'd know depending on where other teams could send their tests and get them back in a timely manner. If certain states had labs that couldn't meet the demand, there's not much you can do.

This all goes back to having no national plan to deal with what's going on. Yes, B10 should've had a better framework to deal with this, but I imagine it's much harder to do that without any sort of nationwide testing and tracking network. No matter the money, these people aren't experienced enough to set up this type of infrastructure in 5 months, especially when there is so much demand for hundreds of thousands of other test per day.
