ESPN

I wish they would stop testing so that we dont have to delay major sporting events like this.

quote:

A key NC State player will not be available for the Wolfpack's push toward its first ever College World Series title and another has been placed in quarantine while the school and the NCAA are scrambling to assess others on the team, delaying the start of Game 11 between NC State and Vanderbilt.

Starting second baseman JT Jarrett and bullpen ace Evan Justice are out for the semifinal matchup against the Commodores due to COVID-19-related issues. A source described Jarrett as "no longer with the team" while Justice was still in Omaha but placed in quarantine. ESPN first learned of a positive test concerning Jarrett on Friday morning. Both players were absent as the team arrived at Omaha's TD Ameritrade Park for pregame warmups and took to the field around 1 p.m. ET ahead of the first pitch, originally scheduled for one hour later.

Im sure it was because of the mandatory testing protocols where everyone has to get tested basically every other day.

Full capacity welcomed with no tests or vaccines required, but players on the field have to be tested?

Shut it all down.


If it saves just ONE LIFE.


Especially if that life is an athletic, fit, healthy 20YO with a better chance of survival than any other person.

They may or may not have had COVID before. Testing positive doesn't even mean you're infected. They could be scraping virus out of their nose for all we know and that was the extent of it.

The NCAA places the highest value on the health, safety, and wellbeing of its student-athletes. The NCAA is a nonprofit organization. They don’t care about money. How dare you question their intentions or motivations!

It absolutely is. Political theatre/CYA at its finest

And are we going to do this for other contagious viruses where the risk of serious illness/death to the category of person's involved is miniscule? What about if a player has a cold? The flu? Might not be a large risk. But the risk isn't 0%

13 players will dress out for today's game - 9 position players and 4 pitchers. Do you believe in miracles ?
