Q-Has there been any indication given as to what happens if a team has a positive test during the tournament? Forfeit?
A-There has not yet. I expect this to be made public by mid-February. The crucial context is that the NCAA desperately wants to not even be presented with the scenario. So that wearable Kinexon tracking equipment, which constantly records location data, will enable the NCAA to determine if a positive test triggers necessary Marion County health regulations to sit other people via contact tracing. As I understand it, these NCAA protocols are built to be so strict that the Kinexon data will give empirical evidence
to not force a team to leave the tournament so long as other people in the traveling party are continually keeping their distance and wearing masks.
being w/in 6' of someone who has tested positive, for a total of 15 mins out of a given 24 hours, would require other players to sit....but a total of 15 mins seems like nothing...that's one bus ride and a shared elevator
