Reply to "Mertz, Wolf tests postive for COVID. Here comes the Boom!!"

The problem is the Big Ten has boxed themselves in allowing for no flexibility if and when they get a C19 outbreak or spread.

In my view, it’s now become a competitive balance issue if both Mertz and his primary backup can’t go for 3 weeks.

Put it another way, if this were Justin Fields (and not Graham Mertz) testing positive do you not think O$U would not be shouting from the rooftops to find a way to reschedule or allow him to play?

Why this is surprising to anyone I have no idea. Since Labor Day cases have been spiking all around the state including Madison. With no bubble in place it’s a matter of time.

As for Chryst, his comments leave a lot to be desired as well. He’s confident they will play. Quote “I feel confident in everything that is happening now.” Um what?
