Does the Big Ten Office know that Abbott is located in Lake Bluff?

And that they're manufacturing the 15-minute tests in Gurnee?

Dude, did Theponyconquerer hack your account because this is jibberish?

What's the point to this post other than the spinny head? There are a multitude of AB manufacturing facilities including one down the street from me.

I wonder if dear leader may just use some of his media acquaintances to get Abbot on the record if they’ve worked with a distributor (because they wouldn’t sell to the B1G directly, bad optics, EM departments/nursing homes, etc first) to line tests...like the PAC12 did, even if the PAC12 isn’t using 15 min tests. These same media contacts are also leaked info by Regents from time to time - well, sometimes these relationships work both ways. A regent could push Schlissel into providing an actual plan with milestones.

But yeah, it just so happens a $185 billion dollar market cap life sciences company is in the back yard of your regional sports office, weird!

but nah man, everything is a black box that you can only getting meaningless FOIA responses from. No football this year for you, go back to your cage.

Abbott is producing 1,000,000 tests in October. The power 5 could easily use half of those by themselves. Do we expect that Abbott made the announcement with intention of using half or more just on college football while frontline/first responders etc fend for themselves? 
 

without more understanding I’m underwhelmed with the impact that would reach college football from Abbott’s plan.

Never expected my hometown (Lake Bluff) to ever get mentioned on this board, and never expected to be this confused about its relevance. Don’t they manufacture tests in places other than Gurnee?
