Message: [QUOTE="soxfan23, post: 3750151, member: 9842"] The NCAA set ZERO official protocols for basketball, they simply gave guidelines and recommendations, the official protocols are up to the individual schools. This makes the individual schools liable and allows the money grubbing NCAA to cover their butts against future lawsuits. "Why are the Basketball Guidelines considered recommendations and not requirements? When the Board of Governors elected to mandate the considerations described in the Developing Standards document, there was considerable uncertainty in this country regarding both unprecedented infection rates and accessibility to testing. Further, there were concerns related to student-athletes who did not wish to compete because of COVID-related health issues. In this setting, the Board believed that a mandate would expedite and facilitate membership’s identification and establishment of a reasonable and consistent baseline standard related to in-season safety and student-athlete protection regarding scholarships and eligibility. We now have a better projection regarding testing availability and options and have obtained more information regarding sport and societal resocialization. In this fluid environment, the Board agreed that the Basketball Guidelines should serve as a guidance resource, especially as we continue to assess emerging science and infrastructure."
