The Pac-12 apologized to the Stanford football team Friday after an inconclusive COVID-19 test led to multiple players, including starting quarterback Davis Mills, missing the Cardinal's season-opening loss to Oregon on Saturday.
"During Pac-12 game day testing this past Saturday, there were testing protocol errors with respect to a Stanford student-athlete who tested positive for COVID-19," the Pac-12 said in a statement. "The student-athlete and others who were immediately identified as individuals who would be high-risk contacts if the student-athlete were positive did not play in the game, in accordance with Pac-12 protocols, and the student-athletes were immediately isolated.
