I told you all to prepare for a lot of positive tests around the country when athletes returned to campus.

We’ve now had several universities get positive tests from athletes returning, and you can add Boise State to the list.

I’ve also said there’s no reason to worry at all. Positive tests are going to be the nature of the beast going forward.

These programs employ some of the best medical staffs in America. The infected players will be isolated, treated and the programs can move forward.

We simply can’t shut down football across America because some players test positive. That’d be a gross overreaction.

Take care of the sick players, and let the healthy ones play. It’s not that difficult to figure out.
