ACC announces teams will forfeit games they can't play because of COVID outbreaks

[Problem2]

No surprise there

Yikes. If the is happened to keep us out of Charlotte that would suck

FSU can’t avoid those L’s now

Peremptory warning. Please keep comments to the ACC policy and not your personal feelings about Covid or vaccinations.

I think most leagues were hinting at this SOP. Can’t say I’m surprised at this. Let’s just hope for the best. I’ll say if this keeps Clemson or hopefully us out of the playoffs it will suck for the ACC

What happens if both teams are having to forfeit. Do we just wait it out and not say anything? Like let’s say we playing Duke and they have crazy covid numbers and forfeit. But we also have crazy covid numbers and in another scenario would’ve had to forfeit? Do both teams get a loss. Or does the one who kept their mouth shut the longest get lucky ?

It’s #3 on there. Both teams forfeit and get a loss. I’m sure there’s going to be some protocols for reporting

Norvell's sphincter just tightened. I wonder how many contractual bonuses he has that are tied to wins.

FSU isn’t close to the 85%. Apparently it was an issue at ACC media day, other teams/schools were concerned (per Bud Elliott).

Are we at 85%? I saw someone say yes in another thread, but did Manny confirm that?

What if your squad is full vaxxed but you have a bunch of breakthrough cases?

The same thing?

 

[Hoyacane1620]

All Power 5 conferences have made this the policy now

 

[tcgrad1014]

The same thing?

So you forfeit because you had bad luck?

That will be a tough pull from the majority on this board, LOL.

I know. This is like telling a child not to eat too much candy on Halloween.

It’s going to be imperative that coaches, and staff monitor closely their players.

If that number is higher than '3', it's irrelevant anyway.

It’s a valid question. Breakthrough cases are happening a lot. How does Covid protocols handle these?

It's really no different than before. Need to make sure everyone is following the covid protocols.

Now if they would address the fake injury stuff...
