If this is reality and one member of said "party" tests positive I wish I knew what and whose "protocol" prohibits the rest of the group from taking a charter flight to Amherst Mass to play a basketball game Don't try to make sense of something that doesn't make any sense. thatskablamo and JohnnyJumpUp like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 1 hour ago, NH said: With all due respect I don't think you have any basis for saying this. There is not a city policy that is going to cause a game in Amherst, Massachusetts to not be played. It has been reported that the A10 is going with the seven and one rule, meaning that if you have 7 players and 1 coach who are available, you are expected to play the game. If SLU or the city are holding the team to a harsher standard than the A10's rules, SLU will forfeit (which is clearly not what has happened here). I understand people want to be able to blame someone, but this stuff is happening all over the country. There is simply no reason to believe that SLU is holding its teams to a harsher standard than most other schools are being held to. I agree with you. No one is answering your question. Probably because no one knows but simply want to blame someone, anyone. I want to know the specific, current SLU policy and how it compares to the other A10 schools who have also had to postpone games. Posters are making a lot of assumptions with no backup.

RUBillsFan Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 It's kind of funny that MBMs are complaining that SLU protocols are to blame when almost 1/2 the A10 and numerous other schools have cancelled or postponed games within the last 2 weeks. I have no insider knowledge here. However, given the mess of cancellations / postponements across the rest of college basketball, the NBA, and NHL, I feel pretty confident saying this isn't a SLU issue.

The specific SLU policies can all be found in links in the link I posted earlier. My statements are based on the policies SLU has posted. If SLU is following some other unpublished policy for the basketball team, any wrong assumptions being made are on SLU. Be transparent and SLU won’t have any issues.

How does the most recent, current, or whatever we are following, policy differ from those of the other A10 schools that have postponed games? We have had 5 players available for practice this past week. Not sure why you are blaming the university for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when SLU’s Covid policy has nothing to do with the game being postponed on Thursday. Ford said the guys aren’t ready to go. There’s not a whole lot of room for interpretation there.

billikenfan05 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 1 hour ago, brianstl said: What protocol from the city is causing the issues? SLU's posted protocols say if you are vaccinated you don't have to quarantine if exposed to someone who tests positive. The city currently doesn't have any emergency orders in place that are more strict than the policy posted on SLU's website. I’m just quotin’ from what I am told.
