NC State announced Tuesday that eight of its players tested positive for the Delta variant of COVID-19.
The Wolfpack were forced to exit the College World Series over the weekend after multiple players tested positive for the coronavirus. The university reported that an unspecified numbers of those who tested positive were previously vaccinated.
"We understand the results. Believe me. There’s no questioning the results,” NC State chancellor Randy Woodson said Tuesday. “We understand the gravity of eight players testing positive and the fact that this was the Delta variant, which is super contagious and is quickly emerging in the country as potentially another wave of infection.
