NO FANS AT CYCLONE GAMES?

Iowa's 14 day average has been (mostly) flat for about a week. Hopefully we can stay there or move back down a bit.

Not sure “flat” at the highest level ever, baring a brief period in May, is a good place to be. I do not find 700/day acceptable, when entire nations have far less than that in Europe. It will take positive action to make it go down.
 
Meanwhile, Nebraska high school association just announced that the fall sports will start as planned with practices starting up on 10 August and first football games on 28 August. They have not yet made a decision on fans in the stands. This is a big positive, but given the very low rates of COVID in the state, somewhat expected.
 
Here's a quick article from CNBC. Good read, but probably not a ton of new stuff for people following closely.

Article does hint at the brutal possibilities of universities missing out on more than 10 times the dollar amount of what athletic programs may lose.

".....That was before Stanford announced it was eliminating 11 varsity sports in anticipation of a $70 million shortfall over the next three years..." Stanford ?#@? Holy Moses, that surprises me. I wouldda thought they were one of the best funded athletic depts with their Tiger Woods donations.

Stanford hosted 36 varsity sports teams. That is second only to Harvard's 40. That includes a lot of non-revenue generating sports to support.
 
On those rare occasions I find myself in agreement with Argent, I take a good hard look and question my position on the subject. I advise others to do the same.
