Does ucla have a quarantine/test protocol? For example, in the nba, a positive test leads to 10 days in quarantine or two negative tests over 24 hours. Was wondering if ucla has something similar because if they do hopefully they can get back sooner than later, good thing our whole teams/staff fully vaccinated too.

Just cancelled my plane tickets to Vegas. Hope everyone gets better soon! It seems that COVID protocol forfeits are likely to hit nearly all basketball programs sometime this season. Washington, Ohio State, Syracuse, UCLA, .... this list will grow.

The Bruins seemed to be on a roll, so it really sucks to have their schedule be interrupted. COVID-19 seems to be making the end of 2021 look more like a revisit of 2020 with sports games and other large public events being postponed or cancelled altogether. Testing protocols and quarantines will also make it challenging just to have enough uninfected athletes eligible to play. Not sure how bad it'll get as we enter the new year, but thank goodness the highly infectious Omicron variant apparently isn't as deadly, especially for those who are fully vaccinated. Stay safe during the holidays everyone!

Boy, they really have no idea what they are doing. Westbrook in the protocol yesterday, playing tonight. Rules changing constantly. Kyrie allowed back. NFL players livid. What a joke.

On BRO, Tracy wrote that UCLA’s protocol is 10-day quarantine for a positive test, so same as NBA/NFL. That will put ucla resuming team activities on Dec 25 assuming Cronin is the only positive case

This sounds promising

Sources: Multiple conferences in college basketball are prudently reexamining COVID-19 forfeit policies.

The initial policies were put in place when the pandemic was in a much different place.
