It's getting crazy again. Unfortunately we could have used the game experience.If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

If we're going to insist on testing vaccinated, asymptomatic athletes, we can't have a season. Everybody that tests coming back after Christmas is going to have shut down while having nobody that's actually got symptoms.
We're putting thousands of people in arenas but canceling games due to asymptomatic positives in the 30 healthiest people in the building. Omicron is a game changer in what this virus actually is and the protocols need to match it. Professional sports has figured it out and it's time for someone in college sports to lead because it's sure as hell not going to be the NCAA.

I blame Harris and Farley, DEFINITELY NOT the 30 percenters who think it's all a hoax and a reflection of "freedom."Last edited by A Fan In Lean Years; 12-27-2021, 01:21 PM.

Valpo and Bradley have both shut down.
We're supposed to play Valpo next Wednesday so unless somebody steps up with some common sense changes in protocol, that game is probably off as well.
Wait until we lose one or both of the football playoff semifinals on Friday, that's when **** truly hits the fan.

My niece lives in Indianapolis and knows a couple of Ball State football players. Apparently their December 25th bowl game was very close to being cancelled due to positive Covid tests. Close as in another player or two out of 100ish and the game is done. None of this made the media, and the game was played as planned. I bring this up because I’d bet almost EVERY bowl and playoff game is in the same situation, but the teams are keeping a tight lid on the news. To BC’s point, testing 18-22 year old players who are asymptomatic is close to pointless.

Are any of these athletes getting seriously sick? It seems like we are way past due of needing to treat covid like any other sickness (as far as if you’re well enough to play, go ahead and play). I’m not naive enough to think covid ends up being the same for everyone, but this is ridiculous.

Great point about the thousands of fans. I'm all for testing unvaccinated and this with symptoms, but the fact that there are thousands of fans indoors around the court is something I hadn't really thought about.Originally posted by BCPanther View PostIf we're going to insist on testing vaccinated, asymptomatic athletes, we can't have a season.

I was definitely planning to go. Because, you know, despite some difficulties right now I still support my school. Seems like that might be a foreign concept to you and your numerous screen names.Originally posted by Big I View Post
