This post will be updated as more information comes available seeing as the Big Ten’s release of Covid-19 numbers is imminent.
This news lines up with rumors of multiple coaches (up to four) on the Purdue Boilermakers testing positive for COVID-19.
One of the impacted players has been rumored to be star WR Rondale Moore.
Kirk Ferentz was similarly deceptive in sharing the Iowa Hawkeyes ’ injury report of sorts with the only news, officially, being an undisclosed Jack Campbell illness.
But if we play this out with 5 Boilermakers having COVID-19 plus 4 coaches, it really comes down to the “team” and “population” size referenced above.
If there are less than 100 players (assuming 5 positive player tests) AND less than 120 people in Purdue’s population (assuming 9 positive “population” tests), get ready for your first NO CONTEST of the Big Ten season.
