Interesting stats on COVID scheduling

A-10 was the second-worst conference behind the CAA at getting its scheduled games played. (A few conferences still going obviously.)

That is piss poor. But it also makes me wonder how P6 conferences with teams in major urban areas were able to play so many games. My guess is more flexible standards that allowed games to happen even after a positive test.

Highly doubt Big 10 didn't follow pretty high standards, considering their Presidents almost gave up a FB season until they realized SEC, ACC & Big 12 weren't going to be as stupid. But it could be related to what was required of everyone within a program such as basically self-isolating, taking all remote classes, separate meal spaces, no extracurricular or social activities, etc. And I can bet they had better testing protocols considering they have some of the best hospitals on campus . . . like not letting false positives create pauses without additional testing proof and bet their viral cycle threshold on Covid tests were probably not set close to 40 like some labs were doing all across the country. Studies have already shown since last summer that any viral cell detected after 32 cycles was basically dead and from months ago. Lessons learned should be shared within NCAA, because Covid will never totally disappear even once we're past herd immunity, and the flu is more dangerous for majority of those involved in college sports programs. So hopefully conferences and teams who didn't get it right this time around can implement better protocols going forward.

At one point 23 Ohio State players had COVID, but that did not stop Ohio State.
