Random question - Why did the NCAA relocate from KC to Indianapolis? I remember their HQ was around 435 and Metcalf when I was a youngster but don't remember any of the local juicy gossip Well before I posted this I went to wikipedia and learned this, anyone else have anything to add besides this? QuoteThe NCAA was dissatisfied with its Johnson County, Kansas suburban location, noting that its location on the south edges of the Kansas City suburbs was more than 40 minutes from Kansas City International Airport. They also noted that the suburban location was not drawing visitors to its new visitors' centre.[36]In 1997, it asked for bids for a new headquarters. Various cities competed for a new headquarters with the two finalists being Kansas City and Indianapolis. Kansas City proposed to relocate the NCAA back downtown near the Crown Center complex and would locate the visitors' centre in Union Station. However Kansas City's main sports venue Kemper Arena was nearly 30 years old.[36] Indianapolis argued that it was in fact more central than Kansas City in that two-thirds of the members are east of the Mississippi River.[36] The 50,000-seat RCA Dome far eclipsed the 17,000-seat Kemper Arena. In 1999, the NCAA moved its 300-member staff to its new headquarters in the White River State Park in a four-story 140,000-square-foot (13,000 m2) facility on the west edge of downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. Adjacent to the headquarters is the 35,000-square-foot (3,300 m2) NCAA Hall of Champions.[37]

Yes, anyone who has had severe influenza can have myocarditis. All athlete should be tested for Myocarditis, COVID or not, and not allowed to play if positive.
I don't believe that 1/3 of the general population is walking around with myocarditis, but I would like to see a general study of it.

Best I can find is that it was present in 36.5 out of every 100,000 (so like 0.0365% Or do I need another zero?). So yeah, I don’t think 1/3 of the population (much less 1/3 of the college athlete population) is normally just walking around with it unless I’m reading this wrong (definitely a possibility)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On top of prescreening prior to participation across the board. Very disappointed in the misrepresentations and outright falsehoods being propagated.
It has been estimated that 200,000 competitive asymptomatic athletes would need to be screened to potentially identify one athlete who would die as a result of competition.
How close do you have to get to someone for contact tracing purposes? I would’ve guessed that when one person in a locker room gets it then all the others would count as contacts?
6 more days!
Do we know who is out for covid?
