I believe.
Hoping not...but player safety comes first and foremost.
Basketball is just a game.

So stupid. Just play. No D1 basketball player is gonna die from Covid

I’m not exactly sure why. This isn’t the beginning of the pandemic where exposure shuts everything down. If you have players with multiple negative tests before tipoff— and they’re vaccinated— play on

I think our NET will go up by not playing them!

What are the rules...

I think vaccinated players have different rules for postive/negative tests than unvaccinated players as far as how long you have to sit out...Well at least that how it is in some of the pro sports.

How many days of quarantine?

I assume it's 14 days.

Contact tracing for vaxxed players won't last 10 days.
I think the 2 positives will be out, but the rest will get cleared pretty quickly.

If you are assuming everyone is vaxxed.

Yes they are.

I suspect the game will be cancelled. If for no other reason than the optics. It looks bad if you can't play ut but you can play Alabama St.

The way it's looking, sports might he shutdown this year.

Not per today's CA article...

Here's what happened that led to Memphis Tigers vs Tennessee Vols basketball cancellation

Quote:"We simply didn’t have anywhere near a reasonable amount of players to play," one source said Saturday. "We're talking down to, like, four or five."

Quote:A source said an unspecified player woke up Saturday not feeling well and subsequently tested positive. The player's roommate was tested and was also positive.

Quote:According to one source, the two players who tested positive traveled back to Memphis separate from the rest of the team. While it's unclear which players tested positive, The Commercial Appeal was able to confirm that star freshmen Emoni Bates and Jalen Duren and veteran DeAndre Williams were not among them.

Quote:Memphis has unvaccinated players on its roster, a source confirmed, though it's not clear how many. Memphis coach Penny Hardaway said before the season "probably 90%" of his players were vaccinated.

I really do not see that happening. They will find a way through it. Now I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Olympics cancellation talks gear up. But only because the games are in China.

Irrelevant secondary sports like baxetball maybe. You can bet your arse football will be played.

Look up Chad Dorrill. And even so these players are about to go home for the holidays and see family.

It’s not always about us. Sometimes it’s about others.

The word for the day is altruism.

That is ridiculously stupid.

If their families are in such mortal danger from vaccinated players coming home then they have no business going home at all.

You people are insane.
