Can someone post the actual rules for games to be allowed to be postponed from Covid?

I’ve been looking everywhere from both last weeks A&M-Tennessee articles and today’s A&M-OM articles and can’t find a clear answer of how many players A&M even has that have caught the shite.
If you have a couple of players who you actually need to play get infected is it as simple as saying “we have Covid concerns” and no more questions are asked?
Links would be appreciated

I didn't scan through that whole doc, but did it include these roster rules?

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama (September 18, 2020) - The Southeastern Conference announced on Friday policies and parameters for football game cancellations, rescheduling of games and no-contest declarations for the 2020 season as the SEC continues to monitor developments related to COVID-19.
To play a football game, the SEC has established minimum thresholds of at least 53 scholarship players available to participate and the following minimum number of position scholarship players available to begin a game: seven (7) offensive linemen (which includes one center), one (1) quarterback and four (4) defensive linemen. The impacted institution has the option to play the game with fewer than the 53 scholarship players or fewer than the minimum number of position players listed above if it elects to do so. Otherwise, upon approval by the Commissioner, the game would be rescheduled or declared a no contest.
In addition, should an institution determine there are compelling reasons why it cannot begin a contest regardless of the scholarship and position minimums above, the institution may request to have the game rescheduled or, if the game cannot be rescheduled, for the game to be considered a no contest by presenting data (including total number of players not available to participate) outlining reasons why the game should not be played as scheduled. The final decision to reschedule or declare the game a no contest is vested only with the Commissioner.
The 2020 SEC football season is slated to begin September 26 and is comprised of a 10-game Conference-only schedule, with the SEC Football Championship Game to be played December 19 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, rescheduled from the original date of December 5. The schedule includes one mid-season open date for each school and an open date on December 12 for all schools.
Each SEC team will play 10 conference football games to include six games against division opponents and four games against non-division opponents.

How many players that have tested positive isn't the problem. It's the contact tracing that is causing so many to have to postpone. Any players deemed to be high risk has to quarantine 14 days from the day the player tested positive that they were exposed to. High risk players can not test out of quarantine with a negative test. Players who have already caught the virus are exempt from this if their positive test falls within a 90 day window of their original positive test. After 90 days they are treated as if they never caught the virus.

That doesn't surprise me.
I know OP is just trolling but if anyone is interested in actual conversation I found this interesting:
quote:
Every football player in the SEC will wear the small, lightweight device also used in the NFL to help with COVID-19 contact tracing efforts, the conference announced Tuesday.
The devices, which are produced by a company called KINEXON, are called SafeTags and are approximately the size of a watch face, according to a news release. They can be worn as a wristband or on a lanyard, or can be built into equipment for use on field in practices and games
I can only find one statement attesting to where this data was actually used back in mid October:
quote:
Statement from Texas A&M AD Ross Bjork: “We have been in touch with officials at the University of Florida and have also reviewed the available data from the Kinexon contact tracing system deployed by the SEC.

Fascinating. I hadn't been paying that close of attention. I assumed all the contact tracing was done via Q&A and dependent on players being honest and having good recall. Guess they have some hard data as well (which depends on players wearing it and the schools and conference actually using it).
Of course, they won't be sharing any of the details with us.

Yep. They announced that before the season started.

So the SEC must have access to this data right?
Is this like electronic voting? Are we gonna claim it's hacked and LSU rigged the results?

A&M has one positive Over two weeks?
How can their games be cancelled
This is madness

Jimbo Fisher says Texas A&M is at one active positive case among current players with one now back. The rest of the players out are just in the contact-tracing protocol
Reads to me as one player is still positive and there was another who was positive but has completed the 10 days of isolation required.
The rest, as the tweet says, is all contact tracing.

So, I don’t know how many scholarship players they have but I’m assuming it’s 85
So you got your one positive, and I’m supposed to believe there are 32 in contact tracing protocol? Did that one guy bang everyone on the team?
Get the frick out of here with that shite

These are questions no one is asking of Aggy. I wonder why that is.
Given the news of the day, one could assume the LSU players were at the same Halloween party where all the players took turns with various ladies who were all blackout drunk. USA Today is on the case.

All should be suspended for at least 2 of 3 games if not the rest of the season.
