I cannot find the Big 10's policy regarding non-conference opponents for winter sports anywhere on its site, or in any media. One would figure that, if they wanted us to know what it is, they'd make it available. So, my guess is that they would prefer to make it up as they go along and decided that obscurity was its ally.

At the outset, we could hang with the dude...

Gopher football is shut down, at least temporarily, while Gopher hockey (both men's and women's) are so far unaffected. Meanwhile basketball is just getting started....we'll see what happens with that.

Sports in general have led to spread, so it's not just hockey, but it is worse. The top professional leagues have the resources to kind of, sort of, make things work, though if they don't keep everyone in a bubble, they've had to make a mockery of the competition to keep it running. No one else does.

Both the flu and Covid are viral and can transmit in similar fashion but how many decades have we had vaccines for the flu and it's never once been close to being fully contained? Based on the history of viral outbreaks using our experience of the flu as a base model why would anyone think Covid can be contained?

The fact that SARS-CoV-2 is a coronavirus gives vaccine researchers a way to try to attack it that is not available with influenza strains. Without going into the details of what a mRNA vaccine is, it's an entirely new approach. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines don't resemble anything created before. It's possible that this approach can be adapted for other diseases, but the protein spikes on a coronavirus are an easy target. The Chinese released the DNA sequence of the virus on January 11. On January 13, Moderna completed its vaccine. The 11 months since then have been the testing, and the vaccine that took 48 hours to create appears to be far more effective than any flu vaccine.
All that said, we're never going to reach a point where there is no such thing as Covid-19. It's going to be with us for a very long time. But the data we have on vaccines strongly suggest that it will be "with us" in the same way that measles is, rather than like influenza is.
