Had very little hope left for the season. Now looks like it's heading for no football IMO. I hope I'm wrong :Sad:
“Since returning to campus on June 15, Rutgers football has experienced four positive tests for COVID-19. Today, we learned of six additional positive COVID-19 results in our latest weekly testing cycle,” according to a university statement released Saturday. “As a result, we have paused all in-person team activities, quarantined our entire program and will work diligently with Rutgers medical experts, and state and local officials to determine next steps.”

Fingers crossed we find a way to play this fall safely...I just dont see it happening...
Sigh, deep freakin sigh. Hope all recover fully(if that is possible).
At their age it's very possible, perhaps likely.
I wonder how it spread. Exposure to prior positives who got infected before they arrived on campus? Staff who are exposed to people off campus? Sneaking out?
It’s just not going to be feasible to have fall sports. The writing has been faintly on the wall for a few months now, but with cases rising and states still just kind of doing whatever here going into August, I don’t see how a season happens or is sustainable if it starts up for little while.
Guess it will on tv sports soon.

Old people issue. Isolate yourself.
The rest of us need to push on. We have mortgages to pay. You going to cover it? Right, thought so. Push forward.

We're in the middle of a pandemic....in the country that has handled it the worst by far.....setting records for cases and deaths on a daily basis.
And I see a thread about whether or not there's gonna be a Rutgers football season ? How long before some of you take this damn thing seriously ?
This shouldn't be locked. This is about Rutgers Football. Ban anyone that goes off the deep poltics wise. But 6 players of 100+ isn't anything to go bonkers on.
What planet have you been living on for the last 3 months ?
I'd bet no Fall, Winter, or Spring sports. It's a worldwide pandemic for Christ's sake! Too many people, from the top down, have not been taking this seriously enough.
Well, there wasnt really much doubt that many schools would be seeing many positives.
All to wish for at this point is that each of the kids and their teammates, coaches, staff etc recover/stay healthy/stay safe and do not pass it along outside of the clubhouse.
Bottom line- prayers for any of the kids that are sick. That is kind of bigger than if we get to watch football

Did I see that there were 4 previous, so 10 in total?
Next section not in regard to your post...just my thoughts
Anyway- 6% after just a few days, that is not good at all. And sorry, but as a parent, I don't even like seeing any of my sons sick with a sinus infection. Each of these players actually have families that I am sure are not saying, well, they are young and it is only 6 of them...
you have to wonder if this is a result of kids not following the rules or just unavoidable circumstances.
So? Are you saying they got it from that? Young kids meeting up outside of practice could have led to the positives. Baseball has figured it out. EPL has figured it out. College football will figure it out. The beauty of college kids getting it is they don't normally have symptoms. And they aren't going back home to infect parents etc. 6 kids of 100+ plus and you are freaking out!
I heard this news on my way to a socially distanced happy hour in the park with my neighbors. I drank an entire bottle of wine to console myself
This sucks big time

yup 10 or 12 total, not sure if the 4 includes the 2 who tested positive before arrival or not.
The problem is there’s just too many people walking around not knowing that they have or had the virus, there’s so many people that have not been tested because they have no symptoms or very mild symptoms that could be a number of things. I just hope nobody gets too sick because this thing is no joke.
This is a wait and see type of situation, but one that needs to be handled with the ounce of prevention approach.
First of all there shouldn't be a thought of starting play before October and only then if the country's infection rate has gone down drastically.

If they all got it today they'd all be over it for.. what.. middle of august?
Gonna put up a poll to ask if members here have been tested

Yesterday at ShopRite I noticed there were more people in the liquor store then the food store , heck my wife just had a family zoom call to Colombia, I’m going to have to hide that large bottle of wine before it too late , I may have to put her in a wheel barrel to get her into the bedroom , better yet I’ll just duct tape her to the wall with a pillow behind her head. :Laughing
As and "old-ish" person I agree. Can't destroy the economy forever when those at risk can self quarantine.
Unless ya'll have another reason to kill the economy...
