Hearing rumblings of an emergency meeting with the BOT, as well as state and local government, is being set for tomorrow. Their next meeting isn’t scheduled til 16/17of September, but this one was called as a non scheduled meet up.
The meeting is presumably being held, to discuss plans of action for COVID writhing Arkansas athletics and admittance to games/fans. Many things are on the table, as far as things that could/would be implemented with a vote. One, being: vaccination mandate, to where you have to provide proof/copy that you’re fully vaccinated for COVID, to gain entrance to the game or event. As well as mask mandates, capacity numbers, etc.
I will update as I hear more, but thought it was an interesting move this close to the season. As COVID strains continue to effect the state and nation, I figure it was only a matter of time.
