Do you truly think every SEC school will follow the same protocol?

PS- it is NOT a bad thing to have the whole team exposed BEFORE the season.

It is when it’s almost 2 weeks till kick off and your team hasn’t scrimmaged one time yet. Tenn should be at their 3rd scrimmage by now with maybe one situational scrimmage to go.. you kind of want to cool it on the hitting 2 weeks out, and Vols have done none. Meanwhile our opponent is hitting and scrimmaging..

Yep...This what concerns me. We were (don't know if it's changed) only practicing every other day....Now we've had several out over a few days and as you posted, no scrimmages. We are 2 weeks away from our first game and I don't want us to look unprepared like Navy did Monday night.

If this type of protocol continues i see teams having to forfeit games. I bet they're not doing it this way at Bama and UGA.

Do you think every SEC school will follow the same protocol as far as to adhering to the tracing players being quarantined 14 days? I have a hard time believing every school will hold players out of 2 games if their not sick. It strikes me as odd Tennessee has 28 players out for tracing and other schools dont

LSU sure as hell wont. Why would they ??The Will Wade situation shows me that they are playing by a different set of rules.

Greg Sankey sent out a memo to all the schools stating that Alabama and Georgia are the only two schools that do not have to follow protocol.

No way, man. SEC schools will ALL follow protocol or risk getting a stern letter from Nick Saban.

I am assuming that you forgot to use blue font. The first to cheat such rules and the member program to most flagrantly flaunt them will be Alabama, and they will loudly proclaim innocence when caught. They might just blame Tennessee and hold a grudge against CJP until the end of time.

It's already been very obvious UT is the only major SEC programs following this BS protocol. We're gonna have to figure this out or this season could be ugly

Typical if true. We want to Bama and UGA while tying our hands behind our backs, been that way for a while around here.

Several schools are not reporting their covid cases to the media....They are just quarantining the players and going about their business.

It's because Knox county has those parameters in place.

Can our players just lie? "Nope I wasn't near them!"

There have been zero student hospitalizations across the entire country and I'm sure they are noticing that none of the players who get it are getting sick. Eventually they gotta just roll on. At least just go back to quarantining the actual positive cases, or better yet, if they are actually sick.

Saw in the news where a player has died from complications causes by C-19. (can remember what school, but guy was a big'un so must have been a lineman. (night news on the 9th)

It seems the news out of Pennsylvania may once again be in error.

Yes, the young man, Jamain Stephens, Jr., was a football player at the California University of Pennsylvania (which is in Pennsylvania, not California). And yes, he did die Tuesday, at the age of 20.

But Covid-19 complications may not be the cause of death, and football certainly had nothing to do with his passing (since the university shut down sports in March and has not yet started them up again). We don't seem to know at this point whether the lad ever had Covid at all.

The "complications of covid-19" information apparently came from his high school, Central Catholic in Pittsburgh, which has now retracted the statement and posted a correction on their Facebook page:

.

It doesn't appear that we know yet what caused Jamain's death.

So hypothetically, would you rather enter the season and start having guys who scrimmaged during pre-season start being quarantined... or go into the season with guys who haven't scrimmaged but who aren't likely to be quarantined?

We will and obviously are honoring the protocols, doesn't look like any of our rivals are though.

Thanks!! As usual social media type of reporting by a professional (I use the term loosely) news source. Guess I should have known better than to pass this item on...:(

No chance nor do I think each team will be held accountable the same way.

I think we all know how the game is played at this point.
