This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

True. It is also why you can't extrapolate them to all by btd

Just because one school is beyond stupid, doesn't mean every other school is beyond stupid.

Also, we need to follow what happens overall at Houston going forward.

- Does this 6 turn into 46, etc?
- Did they catch this quickly (something not possible in January) and it stops at these 6?
- Do any of these 6 people require hospitalization -- or do they simply get sick and quickly recover? For that matter, are these 6 really even all sick or did they test positive and didn't even know they were sick?

- Does anyone else not on the team get COVID from one of these 6 people?

This is critical. Why? Because if the answer is no, then it proves my point that each college campus is a self contained biosphere that is far better controlled than the general public can be controlled. Each school can lock down the "4 corners" of the campus, enforce PPE within the campus for workers much like a hospital would, and in effect make it very hard for COVID to leave the campus or spread within it.

If the answer is yes, then we have to see if they are equally stupid -- allowing players to leave campus, etc or if they were smart and my theory is wrong.
