Ultimately, it's a “clinical judgment," said Dr. Chris Klenck, team physician at Tennessee.

Differences in who makes those judgments and how could loom large over this season.

“It’s important to us that we all have a level playing field and that we’re all following the same protocols and procedures so that the perception that one team has an unfair advantage is minimized and that we’re all doing the same protocols and the same health and safety standards for all of our student-athletes,” Klenck told AP before Pruitt revealed the Volunteers' predicament.

We’re at a big disadvantage here compared to our opponents. Local contact tracing regs mean that huge chunks of our roster are unable to practice or play for two weeks at a time, even if they repeatedly test negative and are completely healthy. Unless something is immediately done to level the playing field, we can probably just go ahead and write this season off. We all saw in the BYU/Navy game what it looks like when a team that has practiced full speed goes up against a team that hasn’t.

Yep....You can bet your a$$ that Bama and UGA and some others are not playing by the same rules. Pretty much if you read between the lines when Pruitt said in his presser yesterday that the rules are different from state to state.

And you are right...I've followed Navy for 50 years at least being a old Navy vet....That's the worse I've ever seen a Navy team look from start to finish. It looked like a D1 team playing a middle pack NAIA team.
