Well, this is a terrible update with the season looming on the horizon. We’re a few weeks out from games starting and the entire MSU team is in quarantine.
I don’t understand why the entire team has to be isolated over a total of three positive tests. That doesn’t make a ton of sense.

At this point, MSU literally has to do whatever is necessary in order to make sure the games happen for the Spartans.
Apparently, that includes isolating the entire football program because of three coronavirus tests. It’s a bizarre situation to say the least.

Hopefully, MSU gets the situation under control sooner than later. If not, the season is in big trouble.
