I hope the tests they are using aren't ones that take 8-10 days to get the results.

I did a quick search of the Internet.  My guess is that SU is paying around $100 per test.  This might be one of those times when not having a medical school is really bad.

If they are doing individual tests (not sure but I suspect this is going to be required as the team practices as a unit, instead of using pods), and $100 a test is right (the article says most provides change between $50 and $200), and we say conservatively that the number of tests required to cover the team and the staff is 150 (it is probably more), every round of tests is $15K.

I think we are in week 1 of 18 for the season.

If you test the whole team once a week, the cost for the season would be $270K.

Twice a week and the price increases to $540K.

Three times a week would cost $810K.

I am pretty sure the real costs are more; I was being conservative across the board.
