It will likely reach mainstream tomorrow but it was leaked by a parent of a player tonight that of the 161 players and athletic staff surrounding the Kentucky football program, there were 0 positive cases.

Parent tweet

Justin Rowland of Rivals is saying that a formal announcement will be made in the morning.

Go Cats!

Tests of healthy players with no symptoms obviously a conspiracy to lower the "percentage positive" numbers.

That's good stuff. Orgeron was quoted as saying that number 30 for quarantined LSU players was false and that only 5 or 6 tested positive. He said they had mild symptoms and that they're doing better now. Let's play!

Kentucky must have the good tests and not the ones with 100% positivity. Kentucky showing it has what it takes and they want it!

As said, it was all players.

And I wouldn’t be surprised if the players were taking precautions seriously to avoid the virus as our OLine coach has terminal cancer and has been receiving chemo/radiation since last season. We also have a player recovering from cancer.

I was being sarcastic because it seems half the threads on here today have someone positing conspiracies about falsely raised percentages of positive tests.

They don't mention that, on the other hand, there's also a lot of what the OP describes going on: schools, businesses testing large numbers of people that are very likely almost all negative which bring percentages down.

Good Points. John Schlarman and Josh Pascal's courage has been amazing. I know the players respect that and will do what they can for those guys. I hope they can stay safe and this is a dang good start.

Are you ready for some football!

That seems like a pretty good percentage that didn’t test positive.

And yet the athletic department was under scrutiny because of the way they handled it in the beginning.

Before anyone stepped on campus they were all given the antibody test and anyone who tested positive for antibodies were quarantined for 2 weeks. Even then there were only a couple football players that were antibody positive.

It's funny because it's true.
