Louisville basketball on hold, football in stealth mode

The University of Louisville basketball program has temporarily suspended practice activities for at least two weeks after two members tested positive for the virus on Monday.

No word yet of any testing results from the football program, which has six times the number of individuals involved. One major distinction between the programs is that football activities are conducted in the great outdoors, providing players with more ability to follow the recommended safety protocols. Would be fascinating to know how many players are wearing masks during weight training and other exercises.

“All proper procedures and protocols are being followed, including the quarantining of those impacted,” the University announced in a news release on Tuesday.
