May end up having to forfeit their first 2 Big East games vs St Johns & Depaul.
 
NFL, NBA and soccer across Europe are having big covid issues right now. Wouldn’t surprise me to see a pause in them.
 
Idk why the previous covid thread was deleted instead of moderated. Obviously covid is still an issue in cbb, and I hope the team is planning for it accordingly. I would put even odds on the team experiencing some sort of interruption/postponement this year (whether us or an opponent)
 
I'm guessing this is Omicron which is spreading rapidly throughout Jersey and NY but just a guess. We're going to have to change protocols/quarantine with Omicron quickly becoming the dominant variant or I don't see how there's a season.

Word is The Hall has unvaccinated players but don't know if the players who got it are vaxxed or not. UCLA is postponing it's game because of Covid, Big East makes you forfeit? That seems incredibly unfair and needs to be changed.

This is what I'm thinking of when I say tomorrow being a sellout is a horrendous idea. Can you imagine if UConn has to forefit BE games? Still a good idea?

Think the protocols are a bit different for UConn having a 100% vaccinated team. One positive shouldn't throw everything out of whack.

Totally agree, I guess my fear is that this version seems to cause a bunch of positives rather than just the lone one. This stinks. I hate it. Obv.
 
It's strange The Hall would have unvaccinated players because they wouldn't be able to play in the Garden for the Big East tournament or against the Johnnie's in their away game.

Yes, but few if any symptoms for those who are vaxxed; and you don't test unless you have symptoms or direct exposure.

Those rules were made when COVID was ebbing and pre-Omicron.

Based on NFL, NBA, and things like the recent Cornell outbreak, there are gonna be a bunch of (+) NCAA players everywhere soon. Vaccinated or not. Omicron is a PITA.

Wouldn't surprise me if BE administration re-visits the forfeit rule, if it seems to be warranted.
 
Pardon my manners, long overdue: DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMEEED

The positive case numbers across sports are looking rough this past week. Was going to post something but didn’t want the mojo.

The worry is if someone gets the sniffles for a day they will get tested. If they're positive everyone around them will get tested. With the way Omicron spreads even amongst the vaccinated and boosted I see massive shutdowns in the future if we don't pivot and handle protocols/quarantine differently.

Agreed. I don’t know how quickly we can pivot, but I do think Omicron may be the pivot point.

I don't think that is true. Pretty sure vaccine mandate doesn't apply to visiting teams.

How do you know the players who contracted are the unvaccinated ones out of the group? Omicron is affecting primarily vaccinated so far. Look at what just happened with Cornell university. What we need to do is let these athletes play. Have a good day

You make absolutely no sense here. Omicron is more resistant, that absolutely does not mean it is primarily affecting vaccinated…That’s just a ridiculous statement. And yeah, I have a hunch the unvaccinated players on the team, who STILL infected at a much higher rate, and can pass it along at a much higher rate, are probably some of the ones who contracted.

Source? My kneejerk reaction was to call you names for spreading obvious disinformation, but I don't actually know it to be untrue. I'll give you a chance.

I don't think the info is out there as to if the Hall players who tested positive are vaxxed or not but what we do know from Cornell is that 97% of their campus is fully vaccinated and a very high percentage of their 903 Covid cases are Omicron cases and a portion of them are in boosted students. The UK is showing they have a great deal of Omicron cases in the fully vaxxed and boosted as well. We need to pivot how we handle those who test positive.

The fact that some are still clinging to the unvaxxed hysteria given what is happening in Cornell is hilarious. Unvaxxed or vaxxed, this stuff is spreading like wildfire.
Expand ...
97% vaxxed with zero hospitalizations and all either asymptomatic or have mild symptoms. Not clear if that will be true for the unvaxxed or immunocompromised.
