This is a hell of a classy move from all the people involved here. They’re the faces of the university, especially Narduzzi and Capel, and they stepped up in a big way to help win the war against coronavirus.
We need to shine a light on as many stories like this as possible. During these dark times, we need to remember how great we can all be.
This is a perfect example of that fact.

That’s also a substantial amount of money. Raising half a million dollars in the war against coronavirus isn’t a joke at all. That’s a gigantic amount of money.
Hopefully, it’ll help us get a vaccine as fast as possible and lead to the return of sports.
