LSU, like many programs in the SEC and nationally, has not provided regular reports on the number of players who have contracted the novel coronavirus.

Nearly half of Power 5 won't disclose COVID-19 test data
As debate swirls about the return of college fall sports amid an increasing number of positive COVID-19 tests on campuses, football coaches and athletic directors have been loudly championing their schools' health and testing protocols.
The schools are much less forthcoming, though, about the actual number of positive tests in their programs and other related data.
In response to a series of questions from ESPN about their COVID-19 testing protocols, almost half of the 65 schools in the Power 5 conferences declined to share data about how many positive tests their programs have had to date.
Nearly a third of the schools overall declined to provide information about protocols in addition to withholding the number of athletes who have tested positive. Twenty-one schools that declined to provide data are in the conferences that plan to play college sports this fall: the ACC, Big 12 and SEC.
Many of the schools that declined to give data to ESPN cited federal student privacy laws, university protocols and other confidentiality considerations, although legal experts say those laws shouldn't be applied to such a request because the data wouldn't identify specific students.
Among the questions ESPN asked school administrators were how many tests have been administered since the school started testing athletes; how many athletes have tested positive; what protocols the department has in place once an athlete tests positive; how many athletes have heart-related issues due to the coronavirus; and whether the school shares data with government health officials.
Coaches and athletic directors have been saying that athletes are safe -- or even safer -- within their athletic programs and team environment. Even so, some of those same programs declined to share testing data with ESPN.
"We've just followed our university protocols when we do have positive tests, whether they be staff, student-athletes or what have you," said Greg McGarity, athletics director at Georgia, one of the schools that declined to answer any of the nine survey questions. "They're reported through the university channels, and everything is done by the book."
Each of the Power 5 conferences leaves it up to its member institutions to decide whether to release testing data, as does the NCAA.

SEC test players 3 times a week every week. Two PCR. One rapid test. EVERY FUCKING WEEK. Also you act like the the big 10 which you are a fan of don't have athletes positive for covid. Remind me what conference Wisconsin is in. Big pedophile conference right? Odd you didn't mention the big in your bigoted diatribe earlier. Did it slip your mind? Also big 10 schools have declined to report covid results yet you AGAIN neglected to mention that. That slip your mind as well or perhaps your old white man brain tiny tho it may be is getting a bit senile?
Semantics aside here's the takeaway. YOU LIED. Your comment was a blatant LIE. YOU ARE A LIAR AND A BIGOT. No dancing around any of that you hateful old white guy. SEC does exactly what the Dodgers team YOU ARE MAKING EXCUSES FOR will supposedly do. Test the players before they are allowed out of protective bubble. Yet your hate filled bigoted ass condemns and lies about the SEC for doing the exact same thing you defended the Dodgers for doing. Why is that you sad little LIAR? It almost seems like you have issues with teams that have a lot of minorities on it. Hey LIAR. If there's something I'm missing and theres a reason you are a blatant sack of shit LIAR I'm willing to hear it or read it as the case may be LIAR.
Please try to stick to facts this time liar. That means don't just make shit up because you hate non whites. Also don't cover up for the big 10. I know that's the go to reaction in that conference. COUGH decades of raping children that went unreported COUGH but can you at least TRY to be impartial Larry Lie a Lot?
