I definitely agree with the concerns; wholeheartedly, actually. But haven’t the teams on campuses been tested each week? In theory, couldn’t they travel to wherever this was and maintain distance from everyone else? I assume they have been tested, but I also doubt that every player, coach and staffer has been 100% isolated from the rest of society. If my daughter's P5 team released a photo like that, the school would send the team home yesterday. They aren't messing around. I can only imagine the response at a P5 school if football is cancelled in any part because of an outbreak on the women's vb team. That photo sets a really bad example. They literally tested (viral, antibody, and temperature) and screened for preceding week activity before they left. Nothing is going to be 100% foolproof, but Nebraska treats their volleyball players like Fabergé eggs. Everyone that attended (including staff) cleared the process. It's possible that someone is an asymptomatic carrier, but asymptomatic transmission is negligible.

Yeah. I live here. I'm well aware of all of this. The "mandate" is essentially a jaywalking ban. They aren't enforcing it, they don't write tickets for it, people ignore it. There's no crisis here, which is what you seem to be getting after. none if this is about volleyball imho but while im in here commenting cv19 death rate is less than 1%, not much more than annual flu. We could get an outbreak of a virus with a 5-10% death rate in the next few years, Id get a lot more concerned about face mask then. Personnally i dont wear a mask much but i make a point to socially distance from elderly,more so than required, cuz their the ones at risk, not college students.

Not quite sure how to take you when you respond adamantly there is no mandate, when you knew that there was. You're implying the mandate means the girls in the video not wearing masks is bad. That, technically, there's a mandate doesn't make your point correct, for two reasons. One, the mandate is not enforced and is irrelevant in the lives of Lincolnites. Two, Branched Oak Lake, where the video was filmed, is not in Lincoln. It's about 15 miles outside of town. So the mandate doesn't matter there anyway. You can go on pedantically pointing to the word "mandate" as if it matters. It doesn't, I've tried to explain that and you're pushing back, so we are at an impasse.

No, I am clearly stating that not wearing a mask is selfish and stupid, as acknowledged from the president on down to your mayor. Posting a picture of the entire team with their arms around each other when the athletic department is allowing them to practice only in small groups, shows really bad judgement. I would not be at all surprised if the AD is quietly really pissed off. Again, my daughter's team would be expelled from campus if they posed for that picture. The mandate shows that even in Lincoln your officials have come around to the conclusion that not wearing a mask is selfish and stupid. The president has now said that you should wear a mask. Arguing technicalities of boundaries and will of enforcement in Lincoln is irrelevant.

Really at this point CV19 has gotten political. It should not be but it is.

There is no indication the NCAA will cancel fall sports. That possibility remains on the table, but let's not jump to conclusions just yet. Just to clarify one thing, there are all kinds of indications the NCAA will cancel fall sports, including NCAA president Mark Emmert, while urging fans to wear masks, saying several days ago 'If the decision was being made today, we'd cancel fall sports'. It hasn't been decided yet - but there are certainly indications.

Right, and while just decried pedantism a few posts ago, there's a big difference between "can" and "will," and I worded that carefully on purpose. Sorry for parsing words like that, but I just want to be clear. The NCAA can, and may, cancel fall sports. There's no indication yet that they will.

The NCAA has pressure to delay it as long as possible. Football is the driver in this so with no football this fall some serious choices may need to be made down the road.

They CAN cancel any NCAA-sponsored championship ANY time. Emmert saying they would cancel those sports 'today', if they were making that call (which is significant when they're, in fact, making that decision in two weeks) is absolutely an indication that cancellation is more than a possibility. And, quite clearly, the intent of that message was a warning. 'Prepare yourself', 'Help prevent the spread' etc. Diminishing it with 'careful' word selection is just fiddling while Rome burns.

Asymptomatic transmission is NOT negligible. Please research that in depth if you doubt it. I'm only posting because that is known to be false and perpetuating that could cost lives.
