Tracking devices on SEC players

Sorry I don’t have a link but Jay Barker is reporting that the SEC will be using a tracking device on the players for contact tracing. The NFL is also doing this. It’s the same system. I really don’t like this idea and find it to be a huge violation. Does anyone else find this to be an issue? Or am I overreacting?

Violation of what?

Players can opt out if they want. I’d have an issue if this was required of the general population. But not a specific subset of guys engaging in a unique activity

It’s like they are trying to get games canceled

Well do you want to be tracked everywhere you go? I mean we still have a right to privacy.

It works like a taser. If Bama starts to lose the SEC office (Bama Alumni Association) will zap the other teams players to allow the Gumps to catch up.

I’m not playing SEC football. I also realize most of us are tracked everywhere we go that we carry a cellphone. Who has access to the data is the only question.

Most of this board doesn't care, as long as we get our football.
Plus, they're consenting to it.

A COVID vaccine will have a tracking device in it. Don't track us.
Let me go on Google Maps on my phone real quick to find the closest place where I can get Hydroxychloroquine.

Constitution > Covid. frick the nanny state. They maybe can track you while you are involved in a football activity but not beyond.

Actually they can do whatever they want if you want to play on scholarship.

I trust this system over letting teams decide whether to report or not
Let's say Bama goes 9-0 and they don't want to play UGA again, they could manipulate it and decide not to play anymore games and get ready for playoffs

No they can't, they don't completely own you on a scholarship.

They can decide if you play or not and if they renew your scholarship or not.

Helmets utilized years ago with new impact technology tracking by Riddell.

I'm all for privacy but I wish the US did a better job of contact tracing of covid. If you got covid, wouldn't you want the people who may have come in contact with you notified? The SEC seems to be ahead of the curve versus the other conferences. Bravo.

Today it's a tracking device. Tomorrow it'll be a scarlet letter or a yellow star. Maybe a nice barcode tattoo.
But hey - if you want to play on scholarship, no limits !!!

If my boss ever wanted to put a tracking device on me, that would be the end of that relationship.
