The fact you see nothing wrong with this statement shows how far we’ve fallen as a nation.
Coaches ask things of their players all the time that potentially aren't in their best interest. Heck, maybe the Seniors should have done it. At the end of the day if they were all vaccinated this would be a non-issue. Unless, someone on the team is actually sick.

it’s a non-issue regardless, given that the stands have 15,000 people in them and nobody is batting an eye or that we just let this NCSU squad play yesterday

Sorry for the shite storm. Not my intent.
I made a distinction between "sent home" and "no longer with the team." Perhaps there is none.
In college football, no longer with the team usually means dismissed from the team. If it's only "sent home", OK, I get that. Makes sense.
My question, was he just sent home or kicked off the team?

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

Already beat MSU twice. Am I missing something?

Then why couldn’t they play? 2 players total tested positive? Right?

They knew the mandate, same as all other teams: 100% vaccination rate of all players , staff, etc exempts a team from testing. Vandy getting blamed here for following the guidelines smh
If you really cared about #StoppingtheSpread, you’d test all the players.

I don't disagree. I only suggested if the team had gotten the vaccine then (assuming nobody is actually sick) they'd still be playing. I'd be surprised if you don't see a push for this going forward if not from coaches then from team leaders. The more you test the more cases you'll find, obviously. The standard IMO should always be and should have always been hospitalizations and death. Those numbers continue to drop in light of the vaccines.
I am surprised by the response of people who believe coaches don't ask things of their players that might or might not be in their best interest. Heck, I suspect many of the players are willing to inject substances into their bodies known to have potential issues. Is it not possible to look at Covid things objectively?

I can’t believe we have people who think this way — forcing people to take a vaccination is wrong, particularly one that hasn’t even been approved by the FDA.

Everyone knows it's not about stopping the spread, it's political BS pushed into the NCAA just like in all sports, amateur and pro. Heck, a golfer leading a tourney had to pull out a week or so ago. If a rule is put into place and everyone made aware, abide by the mandate and protect yourself.

If it helps remove the political nature of the COVID discussions and ask yourself do coaches, teams, etc...ask/force things on players for the sake of winning, competing etc?

You Karens made it an issue. I'll bet your shadow makes you jump three times a day.
If all the other players are vaccinated, why are you afraid of the infected ones?

What are you talking about? The protocol states you can avoid testing if you are vaccinated. I could careless who has the virus and doesn't from a sports perspective they'd still be playing if they had gotten vaccinated.

Do you think it’s wrong for a coach to require his players to abide curfew? Or what they eat at the training table? Or weight room regimens? Or staying off drugs and steroids? Those are all “personal preferences” that a player can accept or reject, but not without consequences.
Getting vaccinated against a raging pandemic —like those other things mentioned above— affects a player’s readiness to play, but also (unlike those other things) impacts teammates.

Or being encouraged to use them to improve performance? People can't think straight when COVID is involved.
