[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 733696, member: 2426"] I wasn't saying it is exactly the same as any other medical situation. I was saying that [I]missing one game[/I] because of contact tracing wouldn't be any different than [I]missing one game[/I] because of a pulled muscle. The remedy of extra eligibility is for people who have missed substantial time in a season. The limit is playing 20% of the season. It isn't a remedy for pulling a muscle or breaking a bone. It is for missing [I]substantial [/I]time. The extra eligibility isn't guaranteed, even for athletes who miss an entire season. If the student athletes want a guarantee that they will receive extra eligibility if they miss more than 20% of the season due to the virus, then that would be different. Wanting a guarantee of extra eligibility for missing one game just isn't reasonable. It would also set up a possibility of athletes manufacturing close contact with an infected person in a game their team is likely to win in order to gain an extra year of eligibility. [/QUOTE]
