As the paper the B1G and PAC 12 relied on to make their decision to postpone football gets examined, medical and mathematical experts are calling the information faulty. Dr. Venka Murthy, Rubenfire Professor of preventive cardiology at the University of Michigan said the paper should be corrected or retracted. Professor Darrel Francis, cardiologist, from London pointed out several statistical errors and miscalculations.
In short, they made this decision based on a load of horseshite.

Apparently this respected cardiologist from Britain is laughing his arse off at the paper the Big Ten based its decision on and is calling bullshite.

Now all of a sudden myocarditis is an “unknown” possibility? I eluded to it in a paper I published in 2009 about sudden cardiac death among athletes. It happens after most infections. We watch for warning signs all the time. Screening now is very good. Nothing new here

Sorry, got a text from a cardiologist friend of mine suggesting a re-word. Myocarditis may be caused by most viral infections but is extremely rare. Thanks Doug

They had a cardiologist on the radio in BHam yesterday who basically said the B1G and Pac12 got fed a load of BS by there Dr’s. He said Myocarditis is rare and even if you get it having a severe case is rare and its very treatable

They were just looking for any excuse to shut down. They were more worried about players unionizing or having to be given more rights while playing in a pandemic. They’d rather lose one season to try to protect the current model than see the entire model change.

Of course they did.
They couldn't afford to cancel Fall semester so athletics was their sacrificial lamb. It was ALL political.

It didn’t make sense. They said 5 players tested positive for some heart condition related to virus infections. They implied it was COVID related.
All they had to do was test those 5 players for COVID antibodies. All 5 players test positive... they have a case. All 5 test negative then they are idiots. Not sure why fans, schools that wanted to play, etc... didn’t demand this immediately. Supposedly those 5 players were the determining factor.
