The vaccines don't prevent transmission. So as long as testing still exists, this isn't going away.

Trying to wrap my head around this. If a vaccine prevents you from getting the virus, how can you still transmit the virus if you dont get it?

From what I understand, the vaccine doesn’t keep you from getting the virus, it just keeps you from getting really sick from the virus. (So you could still theoretically transmit it to somebody else.)

I'm sure the entire football team is over a 25 BMI and therefore qualifies for the vaccine.

Anyone over 16 qualifies for the vaccine. Would be smart if they help gets these kids (anyone wanting the vaccine) scheduled. I’d imagine most will want it to avoid all of the testing they have to go through

Benefits of Getting a COVID-19 Vaccine

What you need to know about getting a COVID-19 vaccination.

It looks like the CDC says the vaccines will help prevent you from getting the virus but also reduce the effects if you still catch it. So in summary, it will greatly reduce transmission but its still possible to get sick and infect others but much less so than unvaccinated.

Thank you for conceding the point that vaccines don't prevent transmission. TTYL!

To concede one must first be defending something. I just summarized what I read on the official CDC site and didnt know one way or another before I went to the site. Point of correction on your response, though. The vaccines do prevent transmission, just somewhere less than 100% effectiveness.

Covid-19 Institute Operations Updates
The most current status updates from around Georgia Tech.
Latest Update
March 24, 2021 — Vaccine Eligibility Expansion and Scheduling
To the Georgia Tech Community,
Today, Georgia Tech received additional doses of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine from the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH), which manages the statewide allocation of vaccines. This follows yesterday’s announcement from Georgia Governor Brian Kemp that the state would expand the criteria for vaccine eligibility beginning Thursday, March 25, to include all adults ages 16 and older. This expansion effectively covers 100% of the Georgia Tech community.
Based on current vaccine availability, we have opened new vaccination appointment slots on mytest.gatech.edu for those who are eligible to receive the vaccine. We will accept appointments until all slots are taken. Georgia Tech is only administering the vaccine to active members of the campus community: students, staff, faculty, and affiliates.
 
All of GT’s first dose appointments are currently full. Looks like they’ve received about 9700 doses thus far.

Some folks would probably lose their minds about fairness if they tried to prioritize student athlete vaccinations, so best to hope that they get enough doses to cover the whole campus community quickly.

They should prioritize student athletes.

For what it's worth, I have seen many reports that suggest the mRNA vaccines do reduce transmission and not the opposite. One random news story from 23 days ago:
www.cnbc.com

Dr. Scott Gottlieb sees promising signs that Covid vaccines reduce virus transmission

Pfizer board member Dr. Scott Gottlieb told CNBC there is growing evidence showing Covid vaccines cut down on person-to-person spread of the virus.
www.cnbc.com www.cnbc.com

Effectiveness does not imply transmission reduction, but I don't think there's much support for your assertion that they don't prevent transmission. (Unless you mean "prevent" in an absolute sense, like no one with the vaccine transmits, which isn't really relevant to the discussion.)

How is it irrelevant. I do mean prevent in an absolute sense. They are shutting down events/teams/players because of transmission, even if it's one athlete.
