The Notre Dame Fighting Irish cancelled practice on Wednesday and will likely cancel practice for Thursday according to it’s public relations Twitter account.
The statement uses the phrase “abundance of caution,” because of the move to online learning by the University for the next two weeks. The coronavirus numbers at Notre Dame have gone up significantly since classes began on August 10, and this is a way for the school to kind of “reset” itself in that regard.
Whether or not you see this as a fool’s errand or a perfectly reasonable action can certainly be debated, but the reality IS the reality.
