It just shows the hair-trigger approach by Cal and/or the Pac-12, which is inconsistent with, say, Clemson and the ACC.  

Trevor Lawrence tested positive and, to my knowledge, no close contacts were quarantined.  He's a QB that barks orders at the line and communicates face-to-face with the entire offense.  

Meanwhile, across the country, one player tests positive at Cal (to date), with daily negative antigen testing of the entire rest of the team and staff, and a game is canceled.  I'm not really judging the decision, but it's definitely completely inconsistent with the rest of CFB.

Health is most important, but from a competitive standpoint, these are two of the top three teams in the Pac-12 North and now they don't have to play each other.  On paper, that's actually a big advantage, although who knows what will happen going forward in this crazy shortened season...
