Who gives a rats ass if they’re vaccinated or not? The NCAA forced them out of a game for having positive, vaccinated players so clearly the vaccine is meaningless as it relates to eligibility. The question is why weren’t Vanderbilt vaccinated players tested as well? If the NCAA is arbitrarily going to change mid-steam, their policy of not testing vaccinated players then why aren’t those arbitrary guidelines not applied to both dugouts?I will add another: Why did NC State file a game roster a week earlier one player short? If State covered up a positive test, and they knowingly played a positive non-vaccinated player, this would partly explain the hard lines the NCAA kept.
Everyone wants to blame them for something out of their control. Just pure hate and lies about what happened. People have made Corbin the villain and took a quote from him after the game on Friday and applied it to the NCAA decision (which was almost word for word what he said after the GA Tech win BTW) Also the crazy people believe he had something to do with the NCAA decision without and evidence and NC State officials deny he had anything to do with it.How did Vandy ruin the College World Series? They play the games presented to them. They had nothing whatsoever to do with the fiasco around NC State and the NCAA.
All Vanderbilt players, coaches and personal were tested on Saturday and all passed!! Personally I think NC State should have been allowed to play. The NCAA is afraid of lawsuits from players that test positive. The NCAA is afraid that Covid positive players would claim that playing in the CWS affected their health and prevented them from making the majors and sue the NCAA for liability. That’s why they are so strict with their policies.Who gives a rats ass if they’re vaccinated or not?

Also, what’s the point of contact tracing people who you’ve tested and have come back negative? Why is a positive test automatically accepted/trusted while a negative is thrown out the window? The unvaccinated guys who were all held out Friday, tested negative that night and were still “contact traced” and put in quarantine/Covid protocol (whatever the hell that means) on Saturday, thus leading to NCSU not being able to field a team. The whole testing thing is a farce; across the board. I was tested once (mandated by work) and was told I was negative by the testing facility but that I should treat it like a positive and continue quarantining cause it could’ve been too early to catch it in my system; WTF!? If it’s in you then it should manifest itself in a test, if it doesn’t then the test isn’t specific/tailored enough.
The game was called at 1:10am Saturday. So they took a test for a game they weren’t playing? They took a test on Sunday before today’s game according to Kendall Rogers.All Vanderbilt players, coaches and personal were tested on Saturday and all passed!!
Would you feel the same way if it was Tennessee? Be honest!Even if it’s not Vandy’s fault for “just playing the games they’re told to play”, it still is a fake championship because they were gifted a free-pass to the championship series. You can say what you want as a fan to try and justify the championship, but they played one less game than MSU and they played another game against a gimped roster that stood no chance of winning. It will forever be an asterisk championship.
so you admit that Vanderbilt did indeed get tested but are complaining that they were not tested?The game was called at 1:10am Saturday. So they took a test for a game they weren’t playing? They took a test on Sunday before today’s game according to Kendall Rogers.
Were they retested Friday morning an hour before the game like NCSU? No. NCSU had 1 positive on Wednesday or Thursday (Jarrett) and then one positive on Thursday or Friday (Justice) then all all unvaccinated players were made to go test again on Friday an hour before the game, with the NCAA knowing results wouldn’t be in; therefore they were all held out. The protocol was you tested every other day, the day before your game, therefore NCSU tested on Thursday like Vanderbilt and was fine except for 1 guy.
Not one Vanderbilt fan is happy about what happened Friday and Saturday but it’s out of our control. We would rather have watched Vanderbilt beat NC St both games even if it meant burning Leiter and Rocker. Most of us was excited about the team’s chances in those games!!If I’m being honest, I’m sure I would be putting on a dog and pony show just like you all about why it’s a real title, but on the surface other people’s complaints would be entirely justified and it would be fair for the title to be questioned. Fans can shill, that’s why they’re called fans, so I don’t blame you all for doing it. But it’s a fake championship.

NC State was not guaranteed to win those games and everyone acts as if they lit up Vanderbilt in that First game. It was actually just a one pitch game. UMass Hockey also deserves an asterisk since top ranked Michigan didn’t play in the tournament because of Covid.
I admit the unvaccinated members of Vanderbilt were tested Thursday before the NCSU game and I don’t know who they decided before today’s game, but none of them were tested immediately before the NCSU game Friday morning. Why are the NCSU results from Thursday not good enough for Friday’s game but Vanderbilt’s we’re? The tests are a complete crap shoot so the more you test the better chance you “find something” or get a faulty read. The NCAA said that the positivity rate in all of the tests they’ve administered during championship events/tournaments is 0.04%. Yet NCSU has a positivity rate of 30% team wide and 31% amongst their vaccinated team members? It can happen to any team but I find it slightly ironic (maybe fishy, maybe coincidental) that this just happens to the one non, blue-blood, playing the best baseball in the tournament.so you admit that Vanderbilt did indeed get tested but are complaining that they were not tested?
One positive test caused the whole team to be tested Vanderbilt had no positive tests.
Yes if Miss St had 8 COVID positive players then they would have been disqualified. It’s about the potential lawsuits mainly same reason stores still require masks it’s out of fear that someone will sue them!!Yes. BUT..... I would be glad it was US that lucked into it rather than someone else.
One has to ask the question however.....would the Vols get the same decision if they were waiting in the semis that Vandy did?
“Guarantee.”NC state didn’t “light y’all up” but y’all couldn’t hit their true freshman pitcher who had to play the field and hit. They outplayed you and gave you all you could handle. Highfill had never been to the plate and went 3-4 off rocker. Guarantee you wouldn’t be here. If you’re so butt hurt about our opinions you could go chat with all four of the folks on Vandy mania.
