NCGA REPUBLICANS SEND NASTY LETTER TO NCAA OVER BASEBALL DECISION: "The decision to disqualify the NC State baseball team came at the recommendation of the Championship Medical Team and the Douglas County Health Department. Their recommendation was not a requirement," the letter reads "The NCAA, in turn, treated this recommendation as a directive and eliminated the NC State baseball team from further participation." The 65 House and Senate signatories, mostly but not all Republicans, also complain that the NCAA had announced that it would test only unvaccinated players. "[T]he infected members with COVID-19 were in contact with Vanderbilt’s team. Yet, they were allowed to continue forward in the series. If the NCAA’s goal is to follow the science behind the COVID-19 virus, Vanderbilt’s baseball team should have also been eliminated," the letter reads.
