Everyone is out of quarantine. We haven&rsquo;t had a positive in over three weeks. So we&rsquo;re blessed right now,&rdquo; said High Freeze, head football coach at Liberty University.<\/p>\n<p>Those words from Freeze on Friday raised eyebrows, ESPN quoting Syracuse&rsquo;s athletic director as saying, &ldquo;Coach Freeze&rsquo;s comments describing Liberty&rsquo;s inadequate approach to COVID-19 testing are deeply troubling.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The Liberty athletics department has since issued a response saying they are following CDC and other guidelines, and has done baseline testing for the entire football team bubble.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\"
