TCU cancels 9/11 SMU game

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out considering we play TCU on 9/26.

So did they meet the criteria the Big 12 established.

This is frustrating to see.

People all up in arms about no fans are really going to lose when the season gets cancelled.

Does CW know what protocols are in place. I'd assume they test all players eligible to play; must test negative on the 25th. Any other criteria?

Must be able to fill a 53 man roster with specific positions #s available.

Guys, just to give some backstory here...I won't mention the names of players, but I can tell you there is a very high number of players and some staff members affected. Among the players are major, major contributors...some positions were completely decimated to just one player.

I was told that the silver lining out of all of this is it should be good by Iowa State.

Great! Wonder if our players are going to feel comfortable lining up against them, 3 weeks after a major covid outbreak and the first team to do so! Why do we have to be the guinea pigs.

 

[Bigman38]

So what happens if a similar outbreak happens the week of a conference game? You just concede the next two games?

 

[cysmiley]

Guess we get to test the cyclone shield!

TCU = Marlins??

Colleges with campuses in large metro areas are going to struggle. Small college town campuses have it much easier.

Thankfully, no COVID here, so this will still work out great.

That is the great irony of all this. If you have a position group "decimated" in a couple of weeks they should be fine for the season. Teams that have low cases have more of a chance to have more cases later in the season.

And the tweet says postpones, not cancels unless you have further information. That would be in line with the protocol the Big 12 released. Presumably they will play on a later open date. Maybe wouldn't apply to out of conference though.

TCU should forfeit that game. Send a message to all teams.
