A&M out of Gator because of COVID-19, injuries

Texas A&M will not participate in the Gator Bowl, saying it does not have enough players to participate because of COVID-19 issues and injuries within the program. Bowl officials are looking for a replacement team to face Wake Forest on Dec. 31.

"It is unfortunate, but we just don't have enough scholarship players available to field a team," Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher said.

So let the walk-ons have some glory.

Maybe they should all have taken the shot. Oh, wait a second, seems almost all of them did...
 
Like I said in another post;
This is an unsustainable practice, both at the College and Pro level (and all sports). I've been saying since Summer 2020 that we can't keep treating players like they have Tuberculous. Stop testing unless a player has symptoms. Otherwise let them play if they feel ok.

Treat them like they have the flu. We don't test for the flu multiple times a week and before each game.

College and professional athletes are typically very healthy and young. The chance of them getting dangerously sick from any virus is minimal.
