Gaudy is in the eye of the beholder I guess. UGA had 1,400 the first week.
Bama had something like 3,000 (?) in the first few weeks.

Though I'm not sure how much stock I put in the numbers I just mentioned (not yours, I'm talking about my two numbers) being accurate in either direction. UGA used that number but it's "self-reported" and drawn from at least four different sources amalgamated. When all but 1 case (literally, 1) is student rather than employee, something feels like it miiiiiight be amiss somewhere.

There's surely some positive test results being hidden, but based on the published info about the sources, it's likely UGA also has duplicate results as well as the ever popular false positives.

edit to add: my point being that the figure you mentioned really didn't strike me as gaudy in the sense that it's inline with what I've already seen
