The emergence of the omicron variant has prompted an outbreak of COVID-19 issues across American sportsthat refuses to cease. College basketball has taken on dozens of COVID pauses at programs throughout the country the past two weeks. A complete list of schools on halt can be see below.
The latest significant schools to announce positive cases within their men's basketball programs: Duke, Illinois, Georgetown and Virginia Tech. The ACC has had to call off four intra-league games this week: Duke at Clemson, Florida State at Boston College, Virginia Tech at North Carolina, and Duke at Notre Dame.
Between cancellations and postponements, more than 90 games have been impacted in the first seven weeks this season.
It remains to be seen how damaging the Christmas break (when many players went home to see family), paired with the aggressive trend of rising omicron cases nationwide, impacts college basketball heading into New Year's Eve and early January. For a deeper look on how omicron has impacted college sports, read our deep dive here.
Here is the list of schools affected by COVID-19 protocols, which will be updated as necessary, should more schools need to be added. Last updated: Monday at 12:45 p.m. ET.
