Does a single positive case make them ineligible? I don’t see that.

I think this applies only to major outbreaks. Otherwise you just play without the positive players

How and why is that a good thing in any way?

I think the problem is exposure and quarantine requirements if exposed. No issues if everyone is vaccinated.

No daily testing if everyone is vaccinated.


I believe it’s weekly. Not daily.

There won't be forfeits. Just a team playing their #1s vs a teams #3s.

I think it's better incentive for teams/players to stay clear of COVID so shite doesn't get delayed or outright canceled. I only see it as a good thing?


As a whole I agree with you and have no problem with the rule.

BUT, are other conferneces going to do the same, or are we going to have the BIG 10 watch as Ohio State plays 6 games and then let them be conference champions again because...well, they are Ohio State.

If i were Indiana I would have been out of my mind.

LSU played 10 games last year & got a few beat downs & it's all good... What exactly did Coach O do to hurt your inbred feelings?

I don't even think it's weekly. Because Vandy's team wasn't tested at all for the CWS since everyone was vaccinated.

What if the whole team is vaccinated & someone gets COVID? What are they to do besides get vaccinated? I can only assume they'll be a team that doesn't report any cases or just make sure all their test come back negative

SEC announced if a team can't play because of Covid then they forfeit the game. If both teams can't play, then both will receive a Loss. Thoughts?

Lucky for you, neither do they.

One or two in no way makes not enough players available.

Well that’s dumb, because vaccinated are spreading it at the same rate as unvaccinated.

This is another move just trying to get more people to take the shot, now they’re cornering teams.

Oh well, just means fourth stringers get more playing time.

What's the rule/timing for testing of players? And does the frequency of testing fall off with your team being at 100% vaccination?

Watch it, some unscrupulous teams will be spraying Covid germs all over opposing team practice fields.

What about contact tracing? I'm assuming if one has it, the odds are high that plenty of others do as well?

There is zero point to testing a bunch of college athletes who are vaccinated.
