Another ACC game cancelled due to COVID Protocols

Crazy. One positive test wipes out an entire position room. This is going to be the biggest challenge.

Need that instant test the PAC12 was touting. Silly to wipe out perfectly healthy people because of one positive.

Retarded. Absolutely retarded.

This is insane. Why can’t they use the abbot test? If it’s good enough for the White House, it should be good enough for college football. They test everyone twice to avoid false positives or negatives. Results come back within 5-15 minutes.

If a team cancels that’s an automatic loss...move on...

Cost Maybe?

If you've been exposed to the virus, is there a time lag before you would test positive? If so, immediate instant testing of those exposed might not paint the true picture. Might take more hours/days to show up.

That's the new test that only costs a few dollars.

Cancelled or postponed?

Cancelled or postponed?

should be cancelled no need to reschedule an OOC game and mess up other teams in the ACCs schedule. Unless of course at the very end of the year they can play or they can play during one of NC's bye weeks, but even that should be reserved for an ACC game reschedule.

OMG CANCEL THE SEASON!!!

I don’t understand why the team without the issue is penalized with a postponement or cancellation.
seems to me the team with the positive test(s) should have to either play without the players who tested positive or forfeit the game.
Its not as though these games are creating a lot of capital anyways. There are next to no fans and concessions and parking.
V-tech should have “lost” the game to UVA or played with only those players who acted responsibly and didn‘t contract the virus.
And I’ll say the same thing when UM has players who test positive.
