False alarm: Rothstein tweet about Cal (the school) scares BBN

A Kentucky fan’s brain naturally thinks John Calipari when they see the word Cal, but in this case it is the University of California, Berkeley’s basketball program… not Coach Cal.

Cal is pausing team workouts for up to two weeks after a team member tested positive for COVID-19, per release.
