hskr4life 6,807 Posted January 5 Author Report Share Posted January 5 So now the question becomes... was it us? If it was... who? my guess. Because the basketball Gods hate us. Derrick Walker tested positive and is out another 14-21 days or whatever it is. NUtball, basketballjones and Silverbacked1 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
49r 7,478 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 According to the Purdue Rivals guy, the concern lies on our end: https://purdue.rivals.com/news/what-it-means-purdue-nebraska-postponement With that in mind, what do you suppose the odds are that we'll be playing the Indiana game this weekend...or any game for the forseeable future for that matter?

If it is on our end... it will be WHO has it, how many have it, contact tracing, and positive/negative tests going forward. It will probably also mean no practice for the next few days at least.

jimmykc 3,619 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Why the secrecy about about the cause of the postponement? I see no rational reason to not fully explain it to the public. Why drape the situation under the shroud of silence which the league seems to demand? Huskerpapa, Handy Johnson and Nebrasketball1979 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I see no rational reason to not fully explain it to the public. Why drape the situation under the shroud of silence which the league seems to demand? It's gotta be due to HIPAA (corrected...thanks 49er) laws. They can't publicly disclose who has what. I suppose they could make comments and observations that would lead you to determine who is ill...but I think that's the most they could get away with.

Probably a mandate from the conference because of HIPPA and potentially to minimize the blame game. The Wisconsin-Penn St postponement used the exact same messaging.

hhcmatt 13,364 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Schedule-wise it would make sense if possible to play the game vs Purdue on Sunday and then move the Indiana-Nebraska game to January 27th, an open week for both teams. This obviously won't work if either Nebraska or Purdue are out for an extended period of time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmykc 3,619 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 I don't buy the HIPPA thing when the sports pages are filled with names of players who have tested positive or been exposed to others who have COVID almost every day. But then, I am not a lawyer and am not riddled with paranoia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But then, I am not a lawyer and am not riddled with paranoia. My understanding is that HIPPA is only a law to protect information between a doctor/hospital and the person (or other doctor/hospital). Any disclosure of health information after that isn't protected by HIPPA. If you choose to share any information voluntarily, you can.* * I'm no HIPPA lawyer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hskr4life 6,807 Posted January 5 Author Report Share Posted January 5 I mean... just wait until next game and see who isn’t on the bench for either team. Bam there’s your likely answer. Nighthawk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tcp 1,978 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 I thought Purdue quickly pointed the finger by promptly mentioning that they were going ahead with their next scheduled game, which was I think Saturday. And we haven't said anything about our next game yet. That's probably as close to actual finger pointing as you're gonna get without the offending entity making it public on their own.

49r 7,478 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 FWIW, the law you all are referring to is HIPAA (one P, two A's) or "Health Information Portability and Accountability Act of 1996". - signed, someone who has previously worked in the HIT software field It's an insanely complex law designed protect individual rights and privacy, but mostly it's a tool used by public institutions to excuse themselves from divulging information or granting access to the general public about all sorts of stuff mostly, but not necessarily entirely healthcare related. -signed, someone who currently works at a public university Nighthawk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
