For months the Florida Gators have had positive COVID-19 news by, well, not having positive test results. The University Athletic Association has proudly shared testing numbers but with the general student body returning to campus earlier this month the football team has seen a spike in results.
After two consecutive months without a positive test, the football team has had seven positive tests during the first two weeks of September. Those numbers pale in comparison to Lacrosse (31 positive tests) and baseball (15), both of which have paused all off-season activity due to positive cases.
It’s impossible to expect, and Dan Mullen has said as much, that Florida or any team would go the entire season without testing positive.
