I was just told by someone associated with a D1 program that the NCAA is going to require ALL persons associated with athletic departments and teams will have to get the Vaccine. This is all the way down to support persons in offices that rarely even see the athletes. Anyone not getting vaccine will be required to test 3 times a week.
So here is the question. I just saw where the Florida Governor has said any place that requires employees to be vaccinated will be fine $5000. So does that mean if any school follows the NCAA guidelines, then they will owe $5000 per person they require to get it or will they tell the NCAA that their rules go against government stipulations? Florida has alot of state supported schools with NCAA athletes and the persons involved with it.
I am sure this will be an issue with other states as well before long. So who wins here?
I am not against the vaccine but I am against REQUIRING people to get it or not be allowed to be involved in anything. I have known several people who were fully vaccinated that still got Covid and got it pretty bad.
The NCAA also said that if there is a breakout, that all people, vaccinated or not, will be subjected to three tests a week until breakout is over. I dont think they have fully thought this through as usual but just my opinion. Any other thoughts of how this will turn out?
