I didn’t read the article but I have felt for a while that is what is going to happen. I guess you would have to make a decision by the end of September when practice normally begins. Maybe they could play a month of non-conference in December with no overnight travel. I think you can forget about in season tourneys this year. |

Yes, I think the propensity for big (and some little) schools to be jetting off to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, VI, etc. will take a year off.

The major football conferences are announcing conference only games as we speak. I suspect basketball will do the same unless a startling development takes place soon in the vaccine world. |

Villanova is about 1200 miles from Big East foe Creighton Villanova is about 20 miles away from UPenn, LaSalle, St Joes, Temple, and Drexel |

The problem isn't the 1200 miles, it's what a program does to get its team there.
Private coaches versus chartered flights (which a lot of the bigs do) should be a wash. But, I think we all agree the type of schlepping that a Holy Cross-level program would do to travel 1,200 miles is not wished on anyone right now. (remember the USF and Maryland trips 12-13 years ago that contributed to ruining a season; more at stake here, of course).

PL protocols shouldn't be any more lax than ACC protocols when it comes to safety this year. With a little effort BC should be able to get an exemption from the ACC. Just tell them we are like Notre Dame. |
