Yikes. Citing National Review? I think that ends any possibility of a serious conversation.

I read all kinds of publications including Slate, HuffPost, National Review, The Hill, etc. Information is information. These websites are all opinion oriented, not data providers. My information is gathered from a variety of sources and I don't discount them based on my own personal opinions or politics as you apparently do. No wonder you are so ill informed. Had I known you were so close minded to begin with i'd have never spent the time engaged in this discussion. Head back to your corner, hide in your safe space and you can feel validated by only engaging with those who agree with you. Sounds like a solid plan.

It's obvious that nobody is going to change your mind here. If you want to pound your chest and go around maskless during a deadly pandemic and brag about not wearing a mask and let people cough and sneeze and spit their germs in your mouth, that's on you. I just hope that you're fully vaccinated and boosted, especially since there are so many anti-maskers/anti-vaxxers who literally let their pride on this topic kill them. But it's probably best that you keep your opinions to yourself. If your only qualifications to talk about this topic is that your wife used to be a mask tester, then you really don't have the qualifications to tell us that you know more about masks than virtually all doctors and scientists on this topic.

All I wanted to know was what the policies were for each university to attend sporting events.

Lol, seems that isn't all you wanted to know based on your comments. Not a word about vaccines from me, but nobody in the family got one because we are healthy and not obese. Everyone in my family got Covid and we dealt with minor symptoms of sneezing and a mild cough for a few days like most people did. The fact still remains that my wife has more knowledge on the issue if masks than 99.999 percent of the population, including doctors, because she has a degree in chemical technology and actually tested the masks which are the topic if discussion for over 25 years. She is far more qualified on the issue than any person you have listened to or any study you've read, so yes, that's all I really needed. I truly wish she had told my family masks worked. I'd have gladly supported that route over all the other nonsense. But she didn't. And you'd be wise to listen to a person who is giving you information based on 25 years of testing vs. information from people who never tested masks and really had no interest in them until the past few years.

All I can say in response to this comment is....Good Luck. And I mean that in all sincerity. Because you're gonna need it.
