cv19 cancellations and postponements......here we go again.......

We can talk about the cancellations but if arguments over covid in general start I'll have to move this to TH or either start deleting posts that try to carry it that way.

This is a standing rule and comes from further up the chain.

 

I bet and that is sad.

 

I’m guessing that 1 offending post will shortly become many so it’s easier to just move the thread or delete it if people can’t follow the rules. If it were up to me, I’d ban the poster and move the thread

 

I hope this is basketbally enough and not too Covid-generally, because my question is about the sport's immediate future and not meant to start an argument. Does UF require its players and coaches to get vaccinated? How about the SEC?

 

Sports related reply - the new normal should be that players with COVID should be allowed to play as long as they are vaccinated and asymptomatic. Trying not to have any COVID infected persons play at this point is a fruitless pursuit.

 

Right now we'll just watch and see how it goes.

 

I heard this morning that the NFL is loosening restrictions along these lines. They're coming down the stretch of the season, have postponed a few games this week and can't afford cancellations.

 

Hall:

If these COVID cancellations screw up our DVR programming, and you determine, in your wisdom, to move any related posts to TH, you might want to consider moving them to Gator Bytes instead.

 

It's not really up to me. According to the last instructions which were handed down anything to do with Covid as far as discussion of the disease itself and the like had to be moved to TH. So far I see no problems with what is being discussed.

 

It was just a little dry humor on my part, although I am hoping that my dvr programming doesn’t get screwed up.

 

Feel like it’s about watching positivity rates. Most counties in the state of Florida are under 4%. That may not be the same for other states so each individual area bares watching.

 

Will cancellations by an SEC team result in a forfeit by that team?

 

I think that's the way it will work this year.

 

This is from July, but suggests that cancellations might result in forfeits. I don't see anything definitive yet. Sankey said there's no contingency to makeup games, so postponement is not an option.
SEC won't postpone games for COVID-19 in 2021, commissioner Greg Sankey says

 

There were 10 games cancelled and three games postponed yesterday. Five total today.

 

St. Johns gets a win today due to Seton Hall forfeiture.
Creighton gets a win due to DePaul forfeiture.

There are three other games cancelled and one postponed.

 

So the thing to do, if you know you have an outbreak on the team, delay announcing it until just before tipoff, on the slim chance that the other team might have to forfeit first.
