Two ACC teams have expressed concerns over the school's COVID-19 testing protocols ahead of their nonconference football games scheduled for this fall.
On Friday, The News & Advance's Damien Sordelett reported that Liberty coach Hugh Freeze said the program hasn't registered a positive coronavirus test in three weeks. However, the reason stems from the Flames choosing to not test players for two weeks since they passed screenings for COVID-19 symptoms.
Syracuse athletic director John Wildhack told ESPN on Saturday that Freeze's comments were "deeply troubling."
"Coach Freeze's comments describing Liberty's inadequate approach to COVID-19 testing are deeply troubling, and pose a threat to the health and well-being of our student-athletes, coaches and staff," Wildhack said.
