@Senna posted:Not quite. According to the same sources that you quote above: Two unvaccinated players tested positive. That prompted the NCAA to test the entire team, and they had more positives come back, all 4 of which were from vaxxed players.
As the NCAA policy clearly states, non-vaccinated players get tested per NCAA protocol, vaccinated ones (or players not showing symptoms) don’t. Entire team is vaccinated = no tests get performed (barring them being symptomatic). And they are playing a full team yesterday and today.
The “this wouldn’t have happened if they had been vaccinated” talk is, in this specific case with the information at our disposal, 100% correct.
Supposedly Link Jarretts son went home ill on Tuesday. This prompted the tests early. Also more than likely they suspected that those who were vaccinated may have not been through the full course. NCAA had the right to test vaccinated if they suspected they were not compliant.
The first problem here, in my opinion, is that there is a vaccine out for a reason. The team that isn't vaxed plays at a risk.
The second problem is that the NCAA needs to make a clear policy one way or the other. You get the vaccine, you can come to school or and play a sport, you don't, you can't come. That's it.
Period.
