Goholycross.com currently lists 86 players on these four teams. 29 is slightly more than a third of 86. Why would the general student body be significantly different than the team members of four minor sports?
I will assume that UL recruits in areas that are currently surging more than where HC draws most students but from, but still this is not a good sign and suggests college age people are the current super spreaders.

I believe many of those affected attended a big party and thus had close contact with one another

Imagine partying your way out of school. I am glad no-one partied too much back in the day.   |

Rhode Island is now on the quarantine list for Massachusetts, CT, and New York... |

The "Hi neighbor, have a 'Gansett" State must do more social distancing.

Narragansett Beer commercials, the sound track of my youth watching the Red Sox on TV and listening on the radio. They would start in March with Curt Gowdy broadcasting from Red Sox Spring Training in Scottsdale, Arizona and continue until September...never October. Narragansett finally gave up on sponsoring Red Sox broadcasts at the end of 1966, right before the Impossible Dream season of 1967 when viewership and attendance at least doubled and has remained high ever since.

I always thought it fitting that Gowdy, a celebrated but horrible announcer, left after 1966 and that Ken Coleman got the glory of broadcasting the fabled 1967 season. |

And he worked with competent announcers, alternating home games with Lindsay Nelson of the Mets and some decent Orioles broadcaster. Both refrained from correcting Gowdy’s frequent errors. |

NBC made an unprecedented move, dumping Gowdy as the lead basketball guy in the middle of the 1978 Final Four.(he did the semis then got replaced for the finals)..perhaps "George Browne" * the year before had something to do with that. In any case, it sucked as a basketball afficionado having him do those games because he didn't do any games during the season and even if you liked him, you could tell he was just winging it.
* our guy Charlie Browne was mis-identified more than once during the HC/Michigan game.

KY, years ago (I think on the old voy board) you provided us with what I consider to be one of the best one liners in the history of Crossports: "Curt Gowdy, one of the worst announcers to ever assault a microphone". Never forgot that.  |

Curt had a curtain call at the end of his career, after the national limelight was in the rear view mirror, doing the Patriots games on radio. He really limped through that season. I can't remember who his color guy was but if it was Gino Cappelletti I feel sorry for Gino.

Curt thought because he played forward on the University of Wyoming basketball team he could sit right down and be an expert in college basketball. But the game changed a little since he graduated in 1942. |
