Had a visit last night with a friend in the AD. According to him, less than half the team is vaccinated and the admin is struggling to convince players to get the shot.
Unlike other schools, BYU is not mandating students receive the vaccine in order to attend, but they are “highly encouraging” it. They’ve set up a mobile vaccination center on campus and the AD has heavily persuaded athletes to go get the shot, but the majority of players are declining.
With fall camp starting next week, I’m extremely concerned. Testing protocols remain in place, just like last year… unless a player is vaccinated. The unvaxed players will be tested multiple times per week and a + result will result in quarantine. Scary that more than half our team is willing to run the risk.
Imagine playing our first 4 games with a depleted roster.
I’m worried and frustrated.
