Message: [QUOTE="nashusky109, post: 3635994, member: 7437"] Im going to watch UConn basketball no matter what but i don't like the bubble idea. Just doesn't seem right without paying these guys. Javonte Brown Ferguson is 17 years old if im not mistaken? He's not even 18 and we are expecting a group of players, academic advisors, tutors, staff, etc etc to be in a bubble for an extended period of time? I dunno, i'll be happy to watch them regardless of the situation but just don't agree with the bubble. If its not safe to do it, then don't do it at all but don't treat them like professionals if they aren't getting paid. Different story completely if players and coaches and staff come out and say they embrace it and want to play. I get the flipside of it too that some of these guys need exposure to get drafted/play overseas. Also get that it's a waste of a year for many of these guys. If they come out united to play by any given means then im all for it but i cant imagine 100% compliance across the board in the Big East which poses the question about players opting out. How would that work? This is the worst possible timing for a global pandemic in regards to UConn basketball. Im so hyped i can't imagine waiting another year especially if that means we lose TP, JC, IW, JB, and possibly others. [/QUOTE]
