A positive COVID-19 test of a Gonzaga player and an administrative staff member didn’t stop the top-ranked team in the country from playing Auburn on Friday in the Fort Myers Tip-Off Classic.
Opting to play the game flies in the face of the NCAA’s guideline of a 14-day pause for a program if it has just a single positive test. Eight Big East teams have already gone into a pause because of positive tests and Iona did as well, without a single player testing positive.
Seems like few, if any, deaths have occurred in the Gonzaga or Auburn programs due to this game. Anyone have an update? Not many players are in the high risk category of co-morbidities and over 70 years of age.
