SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT:

THE MARCH OF HYPOCRISY – FROM FOX:  Michigan State University allowed basketball games to continue at 100% attendance capacity despite shutting down in-person learning for nearly the entire month of January.  Attendance at all of Michigan State University's home basketball games in the month of January at the Breslin Center was at 100% capacity with 14,797 fans in attendance, according to ESPN.  However, in a Dec. 31 message to the campus community, Michigan State University President Samuel Stanley Jr. said that classes would begin remotely for the spring semester due to "the state of Michigan reaching an all-time high in cases per day."  "Given this intense surge in cases, we now feel the best decision for our campus is to start classes primarily remotely on Jan. 10 and for at least the first three weeks of the semester," Stanley wrote in the announcement.  I guess basketball brings in more money than classes.
