College football facing harsh reality with students returning to campus (Thamel)



>>Auburn plans to return to practice this week without those 16 players.

Malzahn said Auburn's COVID-19 protocols require players to be out 17 days after a positive test — 10 days in quarantine, plus seven more before they are cleared to return.<<

So maybe 53? Like the NFL. Ok then.
Expand ...


>>"The Big 12 has policies, (and) we're using the 53 man roster policy," Pollard told reporters on a call on Monday. "So a 53 man roster is built on a set number of positions. So I think it's one quarterback, six offensive linemen and you come up with 53 [players]. So the antigen test the Big 12 uses on Friday will be the certification test.

"And as long as you have at least 53 players certified to play and you have the minimum number at every one of those positions comprising the 53 [man roster], then you have to play. If you're less than that 53, then you can have a no-contest. And the first step would be to try and reschedule during one of the bye dates. But if not, it doesn't technically count against the team that ends up with the no contest. But it was a uniform policy that we wanted to adopt to, in essence, take some gamesmanship out of what could happen potentially later in the year.">>
 
Can’t wait to see an effective vaccine so we all can get our sports live back
 
This thread is not a debate about COVID-19 nor how the gov is dealing with the pandemic. Take it to the cesspool. I'm tired of cleaning up after the same people hijacking threads in the sports forums.

I just saw on CNN that Tennessee has more than 2100 students in quarantine. Quick Google search says they didn't have enough players to scrimmage this past Saturday due to covid plus those that may have come in contact. I'm sure injuries are a part as well.

>> The Tigers have at least 20 people within the program who have tested positive for COVID-19 and are currently in a 10-day isolation period, according to the source.

The source also said that Memphis has "at least another 20" people in quarantine due to contract tracing. Most of the players who either tested positive for COVID-19 or are in quarantine are on the defensive side of the ball, the source said.

The dramatic uptick in positive tests, according to the source, has been attributed to a party bus that members of the team were on after last Saturday's season-opening win against Arkansas State.<<
