WATCH: Ohio State football coronavirus update press conference

Ohio State’s Gene Smith, Ryan Day, and Dr. James Borchers met with the media Saturday to provide an update on the coronavirus outbreak.

Ohio State is unexpectedly idle this week. Its game against Illinois was canceled because of a growing number of positive test results within the program. That makes two games that have fallen on the COVID-19 sword and has put OSU’s Big Ten Championship hopes in jeopardy, not to mention a spot in the College Football Playoff.

To the credit of Ohio State, it met with the media to provide an update on where things stand, and we did get some clarity on how severe the outbreak is, what the potential for the remaining season looks like, and the priority on the health and safety of the student-athletes.

We’ve already told you about the Buckeyes’ decision-making process involved, but we’ve got the entire press conference for you to in the event that you missed anything that was said.
