Scott Expresses Optimism Over Rapid-Result Testing That Will Be Available To All Schools By October

BOULDER — The Pac-12 landscape changed dramatically Thursday with an announcement that the conference will soon have the ability to implement daily, rapid-result Covid-19 testing for all student-athletes across all of its campuses in all close-contact sports.

That could mean a significant acceleration of the conference's return to competition plans, weeks ahead of the current Jan. 1 start date.

An agreement with the Quidel Corporation, which produces Sofia 2 testing machines, will place the testing machines in every Pac-12 athletic department by the end of September.
