The hit the school and program would've taken if WE of all teams had someone die from covid cannot be overstated. It would've been a national news story not just a sports one and every clown with a preexisting condition of massive hatred of Miami would've been sharpening their knives.
I think...
Stroud and this season were always a potential massive national story and massive team tragedy waiting to happen and it was obvious to anyone that even remotely took/takes the virus seriously.
So in that vein we probably should just ignore Manny's and the school's and Stroud's own f-up on that...
