The press release says that Bison games vs American for February 13th and 14th are also postponed. Does this mean the PL (or Bucknell) is sticking to the antiquated 14-day quarantine rule. The CDC quite awhile ago said that only ten days are necessary. With a ten-day quarantine, they could surely play sometime the weekend of the 13th.

The problem is you're applying reason and logic to the situation.

Both men and women basketball teams shut down for 14 days as of Wed the 3rd,,,, might struggle to make up games, sadly.

The way I understand the NCAA tournament rules, a team needs 13 regular season games to be eligible. With the in-conference only schedule of the Patriot League, with 16 scheduled games, this introduces the real possibility that teams will not satisfy the 13 game requirement. Like the Bison have 10 games now before any rescheduling and barring any snowstorms or other cancellations. It also introduces the possibility that the PL tournament winners will not qualify for NCAA and a team that loses in the playoffs goes instead; and that team can have a losing record. Hope they get on it and start rescheduling soon.

On the women’s side, the NCAA announced that â€from Feb. 8 through Feb. 26 it will be accepting championship eligibility waiver requests from schools unable to reach the 13-game minimum.â€
I looked but haven’t found if the men are doing the same.

All athletics are suspended and classes are going remote for the next week. Could be a rough spring semester.

Is this for Bucknell or another school?

Only 1 PL game being played today. Seems like the PL schools are using a way stricter threshold than other leagues. Will make finishing a legit season nearly impossible.

BUFan, you might be correct, but when I look at Nova, they have been shutdown at least 2x for extended periods of time. So, this appears to be more of a nationwide issue IMO with certain schools and conferences taking it more seriously.

Colgate - BU weekend games postponed.
Thanks, good doctor. I was about to turn on BU-Colgate and you saved me the hassle.
This "postponement" (can we confidently use that term anymore?) wasn't due to a positive test, but rather "out of an abundance of caution after a member within the Terriers' Tier 1 exhibited COVID-like symptoms."

I think that is definitely correct. In most leagues, if a player tests positive then that player goes into quarantine, and they may quarantine one or two others who had very close contact. There have likely been hundreds of D1 players who tested positive without their entire team being shut down. In the PL, if one player tests positive, then the whole program shuts down for two weeks.
One other issue is the two-week shutdown. That was the CDC recommendation back in the summer but they changed it months ago. Now it is seven days, if those affected are tested at the end of that time period.

That's a great point, 137. When it comes to "erring on the side of caution," the Patriot League is all-in on the erring part.

Texas didn’t stop playing when Shaka tested positive. Colgate BU canceled because a player didn’t feel well and hasn’t tested positive. At this pace just cancel the season if you are going to cancel this easily. I feel bad for the players. Not giving them a chance to play.
Of course if a team has true COVID issues you should postpone but seems like the PL is going a bit extreme.

UMass just shut down for 14 days due to an enhanced threat level at the entire campus. There were no new cases involving the team.

PL announced schedule additions today.
Bucknell men are now scheduled to play American in Sojka on Saturday February 27th and on the road Sunday February 28th.
The women play at American on February 27th and in Sojka February 28th.

They also announced a number of schedule changes/additions. At this point, the Bison have two games to make up with Colgate and two with Loyola. It's doubtful the Colgate games will be played. They may try to make up the Loyola games during the week at some point. Also you may recall the door was left open to play makeup games Saturday March 6th (and maybe Friday the 5th), with the first round of the PLT likely being pushed back to Monday the 8th.
