Color me bitter, but in all seriousness, in light of Illinois' recent outbreak, and Dan Patrick's comments, doesn't it behoove the Big 10 to investigate whether Mertz' pre-game COVID test was negative? For the safety of the athletes and the unity of the conference and the sheer amount of money lost, shouldn't they levy some serious punishments if Wisconsin was pulling shenanigans? It amounts to borderline criminal activity and I say that without any attempt at hyperbole, so why wouldn't someone look into it?
