^ Uh - standing by yourself somewhere outside the fences isn't "tailgating". Bryant had security guards roaming around the football/athletic complex on Saturday so you really couldn't watch any game down there. I would expect CCSU to be similar.

Really hope my tax dollars aren’t going to CCSU police making sure no one is standing by themselves with a mask on outside the fence of a baseball field.

We can't win!
This stinks.
I am fed up with games continuing to be canceled. The seasons have no flow to them whatsoever.

OK, that makes two big sucks this week. I am hoping and praying that a few teams make it through the spring season and that baseball can get it together again.

Imagine pausing all team activities for a team of 30+ because, let’s say, an athletic trainer tested positive. How stupid.

On the contrary, maybe I’m following the science and being a person for the 30 members of the baseball team who don’t want their season derailed. I don’t know why it’s so difficult, complicated, or problematic to take the one person who tests positive away from the team, test all members to ensure they don’t have the corona, and allow them to continue playing. Shutting down the entire operation isn’t necessary.

Here’s my take: HC has 3 major sports shut down/ on pause, because they don’t value their athletics as other schools do. For most programs, athletes within each live together, work out together and are strongly encouraged not to fraternize outside their little bubble. That’s not the case at HC. Athletes are spread out among the resident halls, when they lift, they are paired with athletes from other teams (this I’ll never understand!), they don’t eat together, etc.
Also, having all the fall sports play during the spring, only increases the chance of spread, as so many more are sharing the same facilities. Baseball practice didn’t start until 8pm each day, as other sports had to get their time in. That’s a lot of time for slip ups to occur.
Yesterday’s news was even more disappointing when you look at box scores of all the other NE schools playing. Perhaps this failure was inevitable as they didn’t get to sharpen their protocols during the fall, as they shut down, or their focus really isn’t on the athlete and getting their games in. Either way, it’s very disappointing and looking like 2 lost baseball seasons in a row.

Interesting that the Tier 1 positive is timed so closely to the basketball test. Makes me wonder if there is some common factor (other than the fact they go to the same school). I am sure Phreek will inform us shortly if there is a sharp uptick in positives for the school as a whole

I don’t know why it’s so difficult, complicated, or problematic to take the one person who tests positive away from the team, test all members to ensure they don’t have the corona, and allow them to continue playing. Shutting down the entire operation isn’t necessary. I recall that in a thread which now appears to be deleted, someone asked if people would get the vaccine. You can correct me if I'm wrong but my recollection is that you said you were good and would take a pass. That tells me that you don't follow the science and you don't care about others enough to help society get to herd immunity. So, I'll stand by my original statement. If I understand the rules correctly, a positive test in Tier 1 requires a ten day pause with negative tests required to start up again. That's the rule. I heard the men's lax coach say in a post game interview last week that preparing was hard because of an outbreak in one of the dorms. That would not be a Tier 1 exposure and therefore it did not shut the team down, but I am assuming that it took some kids out of practice for a time. That tells me that the college is not shutting down whole teams for every third hand exposure. I agree that it is miserable, but in the words of a great New England coach, "it is what it is."

The HC announcement was plural. Seven students tested positive between March 1 and 3.
This phrasing, and the timing, indicates to me that more than one player on the roster has tested positive. I do not know if other players on the roster were determined to be close contacts and thus are now quarantined.
I have posted, based on newspaper reporting of the Navy women's basketball team shutting down because a member of that team tested positive, that the NCAA requires only basketball to be shut down if a single player tests positive.
Besides men's hoops, what is the other HC sport that was shut down because of a HC player testing positive?

BC Baseball has their ACC series canceled at Wake over Covid and ended up at Auburn this weekend since Xavier canceled due to Covid on them. PC women's hockey in the Hockey East semis dressed 15 skaters...no comment was made on Covid but that was probably the reason.

The CDC said in December that they were comfortable with a close contact resuming normal activities after a 7 day quarantine assuming a negative test administered on Day 5 or later. So, these shutdowns could be 7 days per the CDC assuming the remainder of the team tests negative.

Hockey and softball added to the list. Sports dropping like flies
Four sports this week. Once again makes me wonder if there's something specific in the athletic department or a specific dorm

Why does HC keep putting up with this. Basketball no you can't play out of conference games. Football you can only play 4 conference games. Meanwhile UNH gets to play 6 games. Baseball You cant start until March. The PL is frauds when it comes to the virus. Loyola MD can't play a regular season game at Holy Cross but they can play a playoff game. That makes sense. You want to look forward to a game and its canceled. At least am I am hoping with baseball that you can play a bunch of games in a row to make these up. The way I see it, the PL could care less how their teams do in NCAA tournaments because they always have to put their teams at a disadvantage.

The idea that HC baseball fans can’t go to the games is just sickening. A 3,000 seat stadium. 200 students are allowed to go. That would be the most since the PL Chanpionship game. Give me a break!
Only hope is that they might change down the road but again leave your fans out of the picture again.
Last HC baseball home game we could have gone to was over 650 days ago.

Lafayette, our next weekend opponent, canceled their weekend series vs Army due to Covid. Not sure what that means for us, hopefully coaches/AD are looking into a backup plan. Need to start playing some games!

We are supposed to open at home vs BC on Wednesday right?
Funny how BC baseball and hockey are BC's best teams and they will play games at HC.
Meanwhile BC football and basketball are way to good to come to HC.

Meanwhile BC football and basketball are way to good to come to HC. BC Baseball was 13th in the country this week...they have lost the first two games to Louisville this weekend. The other question is why is BC even scheduling Holy Cross in baseball? The RPI will be key this year for the Eagles in getting an NCAA bid and playing HC isn't helping that.

BC is playing HC because of geography. But also too HC can beat them. Last years game was close. Its just 1 game.
