Kentucky football halts all team activities
Spring practice has yet to begin in Lexington but the momentum toward Kentucky’s upcoming camp has been hit.
That’s because Mark Stoops’ program has paused all team activities due to COVID. This news was first reported by Justin Rowland of Rivals.
The good news is the current pause is not expected to last very long and should not alter plans for the team’s upcoming spring camp.
Kentucky was one of only two teams in the Southeastern Conference (South Carolina was the other) that did not have to reschedule or lose a football game due to COVID issues last fall.
That speaks highly of the program’s ability to follow protocols and handle these uncertain times as best as possible, something that will likely help the Wildcats as they prepare for the upcoming spring game in Lexington.
“Kentucky was one of only two teams in the Southeastern Conference (South Carolina was the other) that did not have to reschedule or lose a football game due to COVID issues last fall.”
This is misleading. UGA had no “Covid issues” either, though the Bulldogs had two games rescheduled (Florida and Missouri), and one game canceled (Vanderbilt) through no fault of their own.
Your statement makes it sound like only Kentucky and South Carolina had no internal Covid issues, and that is not true.
Just to clarify, Georgia did not “have to reschedule or lose” games due to Covid.
The rescheduling and loss of games was dictated by other programs.
According to Wayne Bratton, “Kentucky was one of only two teams in the Southeastern Conference (South Carolina was the other) that did not have to reschedule or lose a football game due to COVID issues last fall.
That speaks highly of the program’s ability to follow protocols and handle these uncertain times as best as possible”.
If this is true, what does it say about the programs that had covid related issues during the past season?
South Carolina had COVID issues but chose to ignore them. That was a Muschamp-ism.
