This is so dumb. How did we go an entire season without basically any covid interruptions but now the post-season is being affected? Listen I get the Omicron variant spreads very easily, but if athletes are fully vaccinated, why are they being tested? I swear if our game gets cancelled, I'm gonna riot

1.) Happy Thanksgiving
2.) Yes, college athletes should be fine but the NCAA isn't going to be the ones with blood on their hands. Cancelling the games is basically an insurance policy for them.
 
From the ESPN article:

"It is unfortunate, but we just don't have enough scholarship players available to field a team," Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher said.

The game is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 31 in Jacksonville, Florida.

They just aren't trying hard enough. They have a week and a half before the game and are pulling out now. My guess is they don't want to play, while having key players who are opting out of the game and are afraid to lose.

Also, key word is Scholarship Players. Again, I think they are just afraid to play Wake.

 
Seems like a perfect storm of bad for the Aggies. QB declaring for the portal, couple starters going NFL and a COVID outbreak the week before the game.

My opinion is if you sign on the line that you'll play, then you play. Typical SEC BS.

Maybe because they were sick and showing symptoms?
 
SMH. I wonder why we have an issue in this country?

Without arguing your point, he does raise a good question about why all these players were being tested. Many/most schools aren't testing vaccinated players anymore. So either they aren't vaccinated or they're showing symptoms. Or, as others have suggested, they just don't want to play and found a convenient scapegoat.
