Rutgers has placed its entire football program under quarantine after six players received positive COVID-19 test results, the school announced Saturday. Four other members of the program have also tested positive since mid-June, when the team resumed offseason workouts.
"We have paused all in-person team activities, quarantined our entire program and will work diligently with Rutgers medical experts, and state and local officials to determine next steps," a Rutgers spokesman said in a statement.
The announcement comes one day after Michigan State quarantined its entire program for 14 days after it had received eight positive tests since mid-June.
