RE: The relocation of Stanford sports - BostonCard - 11-30-2020
Here's UCSF's testing strategy:
https://coronavirus.ucsf.edu/testing
As you can see, it doesn't involve testing people 8 or 9 times a week:
Quote:Testing is available to any member of the UCSF community with symptoms of COVID-19 and those who may have been exposed to the virus while working or learning on-site. Employees seeking a COVID-19 test should contact Occupational Health Services (OHS) at 415-514-7328 or email ohs@ucsf.edu. Students should contact UCSF Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS) at 415-476-8736 or send a secure message to the student health nurse.
Also, some asymptomatic people can be randomly tested
Quote:UCSF Occupational Health Services (OHS) has launched the COVID-19 random Asymptomatic Testing Program (ATP) program to help monitor and prevent the spread of COVID-19 at UCSF. Each week, a randomly selected group of faculty, staff and students who work or learn on-site will receive an email inviting them to register for voluntary asymptomatic testing by filling out a Qualtrics survey. Volunteers who enroll will receive a follow-up call from OHS to schedule a time to submit a self-administered nasal swab for testing at one of UCSF’s on-site screening locations at the Mission Bay, Parnassus Heights, or Mount Zion campuses. Random ATP supplements the universal testing already in place for on-site workers and learners who have COVID-19 symptoms or may have been exposed to the virus on site.
But the majority of the community are only tested if symptomatic.

Most Stanford students aren't allowed back on campus, which is my point. The energy and resources should be dedicated to making that possible.

It strikes me as a fundamental misalignment of priorities that we bring back football players to campus, build an infrastructure around testing them daily and keeping them safe, but don't even attempt to do that for the students. The message it sends is that finding a way to play football is more important than academics or finding a way to get the students to campus.
If the University of Illinois can do it, how come Stanford didn't?

My brother gets tested regularly, as part of the Baseline Project out of Google/Stanford, I think anyone can. It's a drive-through, self-administered nasal test where you get results back in 24-48 hours. No muss, no fuss.

Heard from a Stanford Daily writer that it's Seattle.

I assume the TV money for football games disappears if those games aren't played. The AD just cut 11 sports to balance the budget. Want to lose some more?
IMO - Play UW and then just declare Oregon State a COVID no contest. Lots of other Pac-12 schools have lost 2 or more games to COVID, so should be fine to drop the Stanford vs Oregon State game that Fox and ESPN won't really want to televise anyway.
The 12/20 games are a different deal, but I suspect they are all going to go away. Too much COVID will be floating around for a lot of the Pac-12 teams to be able to field teams by then. Couple that with like AC, SCC and LAC restrictions, and the 12/20 slate looks very vulnerable.
Guess we will see, but Stanford will need to be careful on the gender compliance. A school should not be able to give a benefit to the men's football team and then not give a similar benefit to the female contact sports on campus. That would mean more expenses to offset that TV revenue.
FWIW - I am much personally more worried about those other sports since they are unlikely to win NCAA team titles if they are not practicing and competing in December and January. As the winter quarter looks highly unlikely to take place on campus anyway, it would seem possible for Stanford to set up an athletic campus in a more lenient state if expenses are in fact offset by the football TV revenue (LOL).
Got to get a place for Stanford men's & women's hoops to play ASAP. They both look legit!

Will the hoops teams go there too or is this just the relocation plan for football?

Santa Clara County won't allow it. My son has been at Santa Clara. They have had absolute minimum students on campus since March and no in-person classes. We are pulling him out after this quarter until they return to in-person classes - he's had three quarters of online from home and is done with that. Santa Clara had planned to have about 50% of students on campus but very limited in-person classes. I'm guessing that those plans are being scrapped with their return to purple tier. Expect Stanford to be forced to do the same.
