That sucks. Was looking forward to playing some of those teams.

I think it's more about not putting our players in a situation where they are going to be exposed and losing (meaning cancelling) more games a result that the current health of our team. South Dakota has the nation's highest positivity rate. But SD didn't just get bad. And we don't know the team had not already been in contact with the tournament prior to this and it i just not being made public.agfan2332 said:
To me, if you are going to back out of this tournament, you should have done it with a little more than a week's notice for not only the other teams but the tournament as well to try and find a replacement. It's bad optics, especially when you don't have any cases in the program.
Will be if vaccines work and the conferred immunity lasts long enough to establish even short-term herd immunity. Might have to be be an annual booster will be needed to deal with new mutated strains similar to flu but with the purpose of refreshing herd immunity.BQ_90 said:This won't be over in 2021PJYoung said:

Been saying the schedule should be a local bus tour for months. College basketball had like eight months to get ready for this and seems like everyone is making last minute decisions. Pretty ridiculous.

If a team gets knocked out for 2-weeks because of positive tests and contact tracing like the Aggie football team just did, that could be missing 5-6 conference games.
At least the rosters are a lot smaller then football but cross your fingers how this goes.

I have a hard time believing that So Dakota is such a bad spot for Covid, but I do believe they probably have a high rate of individuals TESTED there. Just guessing.

Good grief, can you two take your tinfoil hats back to F16?

I am in Iowa, right next door, and I can tell you all of our hospitals are full. I board COVID positive patients in my ER every night because there are no beds. Every ICU in the state is full, and we are having to transfer people to Minnesota and Wisconsin, who will probably be running out of beds soon, too. People have been dying in front of me. It's no joke, and our rural states simply don't have the healthcare infrastructure to deal with it.
Nobody predicted that Covid would flare up in South Dakota eight months ago. The lack of Covid and the dispersed population is why they moved it there in the first place. Maybe you can tell me what the positivity rate and hospital capacity utilization rate will be in Provo, Utah eights months from now.bobinator said:
