Now we know it was all a sham.

I'll take more football but yes all the lies are a disgrace. And the harm done to real people and businesses...Tragedy

Easy to see the change. People started playing football again and outbreaks

Why is it OK to play 11 on 11 in a game but not in practice?

Hinta

9/16/20 10:00pm

I thought they (Big10/Pac) were saying it was because of new testing

braddahmike

9/16/20 10:03pm

Yup - that new testing FINALLY reduced the risk to acceptable levels...

The same testing the NBA has been using from day one?

The same testing BYU has had in place since July

Good ol' Gordo was defending it today. It was weird

9/16/20 10:05pm

He's a jackass.

yorksama

9/16/20 10:08pm

Some woman actually tweeted that sentiment to Gordon. He even read it on the air

TNT

9/16/20 10:25pm

According to Gordo, now that it's daily testing it's fine. 6 days a week tho…?

ochobeeguy

9/17/20 9:23am

since nobody could figure out that daily testing could be done a month ago?

Idahofallsblue

9/17/20 10:23am

You mean since the NBA has been doing it since July?

People will be so glad to have football back they’ll forget to hold these liars

All the science is a sham because 2 conferences changed their mind?

This is not pointed out enough

Jimmertime

9/17/20 8:26am

Here’s the science they are relying on. What do you disagree with?

Jay Kay

9/16/20 10:33pm

So, it's all based on a single non-peer reviewed study?

bluescholar

9/16/20 10:42pm

It’s based on implementing most rigorous testing program of any sports league

Jay Kay

9/16/20 10:44pm

So, yes?

bluescholar

9/16/20 10:46pm

it’s way better than what they had two months ago and better than anything

Jay Kay

9/16/20 10:48pm

So myocarditis is no longer a thing then?

BYU '80

9/16/20 11:07pm

I don’t think you’ve read the pac 12’s medical advisory board’s report. It said

Jay Kay

9/16/20 11:12pm

They didn’t know that before

BYU '80

9/16/20 11:14pm

This is from the August report. It’s the only mention of myocarditis

Jay Kay

9/16/20 11:18pm

So they had concerns about myocarditis

BYU '80

9/17/20 11:41am

boom, game set and match.

It never was a thing. That was just a convenient excuse to shut down the players unionizing.

Magically hit it mere hours after the B1G reversed course. Miraculous.

LaVellIfIKnow

9/16/20 10:54pm

No, this was reported two weeks ago

Jay Kay

9/16/20 10:54pm

What good is rigorously testing everyday if the test itself is unproven?

ldssdl

9/16/20 11:00pm

You would think elitist research institutions would know that

BYU '80

9/16/20 11:07pm

Why do you say the test is unproven? Have you examined Quidel’s research and

Jay Kay

9/16/20 11:14pm

Too convenient. Doesn’t come close to passing the smell test.

BYU '80

9/16/20 11:15pm

Because no other labs have had time to reproduce the results Quidel reports?

ldssdl

9/16/20 11:25pm

You realize they aren’t the only ones producing this type of test, right?

Jay Kay

9/16/20 11:33pm

Who are these other companies producing antigen-based testing?

ldssdl

9/17/20 7:25am

I'm just trying to figure out what your point is, are you saying that daily

Jay Kay

9/17/20 9:31am

Saying that BYU has been USING this test since July so they are lying

travelcoug

9/17/20 10:05am

I’m saying they’re rushing forward with a relatively unproven technology.

ldssdl

9/17/20 12:22pm

It is the same testing BYU has been doing since July.

travelcoug

9/17/20 10:03am

Lots of smoke & mirrors there

kiyoshige

9/16/20 10:59pm

The test has been around and available for awhile for starters

BYU '80

9/16/20 11:06pm

It was available for use in mass production to the pac 12?

Jay Kay

9/16/20 11:14pm

Why not? It was to plenty of others

BYU '80

9/16/20 11:16pm

Because they would need several thousand per week.

Jay Kay

9/16/20 11:21pm

Every nursing home in America has access to thousands of tests. Tests

BYU '80

9/17/20 11:42am

I know for a fact it was available to them at least 6 weeks ago
