Pandemic-related changes are fast and furious around the world of Division I basketball these days. The Pac-12 rolled its new policies and procedures on Thursday afternoon. The newest changes are based on new guidelines released by the CDC on Dec. 27.
The Pac-12 guidelines apply to all Tier 1 individuals. That group consists of “anyone with regular, close physical interaction with student-athletes, including student-athletes, coaches, support staff, team travel party (those travelling with the team or regularly having close physical interactions with the team while travelling),” according to the Pac-12 document.
