All 64 participating schools were given the guidelines before the start of the tournament. Vandy played it safe, 63 teams gambled. Unfortunate for NC State and all college baseball fans but they were aware of the rules beforehand. Personally, I would prefer for the VandyBoys to lose a game played vs getting a forfeiture and auto advancement and every Vandy fan I know personally feels the same way.

Let's just hope MSU and Texas don't encounter the same problem and get to play their game.

Vandy played it safe,


More vaccinated players tested positive for NC State than non vaccinated. That fact should 100% lead to Vanderbilt having every damn person associated with them tested. Guess what, they won’t test a single one.

Why? Seems like that’s the only way you can beat a team twice. Ami right?

The bottom line is all remaining active players/tier 1 folks should be tested regardless of vaccination status……that would be fair.

Eh. While I don't disagree with the initial notion of what you're getting into. It seems the NCAA has moved the goalpost on their guidelines.

It also makes no sense to test vaccinated players if they're not symptomatic. I work in one of the more progressive school districts in the state and we weren't required to do that with our vaccinated athletes. Only unvaccinated had to be quarantined IF they had positive contact with a positive case.
