University of Texas football hit hard by coronavirus

The University of Texas announced a massive outbreak of COVID-19 cases on their football team Thursday. Find out all the details here.

Seemingly each day we get news to the good and then news to the negative about the potential to college football being played as close to as normal as possible in 2020.

Recently the NCAA approved a plan for the pre-season schedule but have also seen some of the negative, including the University of Houston suspending voluntary athletic workouts last week after a hand-full of positive tests from it’s athletes.  Now another Texas school, the biggest of them all, is dealing with a corona-virus outbreak.

The University of Texas announced Thursday that 13 football players tested positive for coronavirus and are isolating while an additional 10 players haven’t tested positive but are remaining in self-quarantine because of coming in close contact with those whom tested positive.

Additionally four other Texas players have tested positive for the COVID-19 anti-body, meaning they have at least contracted the virus in the past.

Like I’ve said all along, we don’t know what two weeks from now is going to bring, let alone what we’ll be dealing with or where we’ll be at 79 days from now when Notre Dame starts their football season.  The situation appears to remain as fluid as ever as we continue to hope for cases nationwide to decrease.
