He won't get fired for this, 25 students could drop dead and he'll be fine. It's amazing the laissez faire attitude the elected officials in this state have taken with this entire pandemic. The numbers here are embarrassing. Ames and Iowa City are #1 & #2 in the country in cases per 1000, first world Auburn, AL is third. Iowa is #1 nationally in cases per 100,000.
I've convinced myself that he's only capping at 25,000 because the Big 12 won't let him allow more in.
