Ok so we already know the game on the 2nd is cancelled.

Don't we already have both games with Xavier scheduled? Or would the Big East change one and move it up?

Once again...WE’VE KNOWN ABOUT THIS SINCE MARCH.

WHY ARE WE NOT IN A BUBBLE?!?

WHY ARE WE NOT IN A BUBBLE?!?

Because it’s the same thinking as all of the folks who had family over for the holidays. “Well if we are a little quasi safe and do some separation on a few days here and there it won’t happen here”

 

[Scoe]

Don't need doom and gloom, every time there a positive case, crying about it won't help. Its reality its is what it is.

 

[Jaker]

We will be lucky to play 10 games.

College football is about to finish the season with 100 people involved on each team plus travel, it can be done. Cant have a 14 day quarantine for a whole team whenever theres a positive test, need to expect and react to it.

 

[Vuce]

Are any other conferences doing bubbles? If they aren’t, how are they getting all their games in? Or am I just paying attention to the Big East so I see all our conf. games getting scratched?

The chicken little BS is really getting old.

Any hope to actually have a season will need to be done by bubble. There will be another spike post Holiday, and January will turn into a train wreck.

See what happens when you leave the Blackjack table

It's happening to every conference, there's ACC (Cuse) and SEC (South Carolina). Pac 12 just had USC resume this week too

Well since this is a Jay Wright thread I’ll let him explain it to you.

“There’s no doubt: The bubble is the answer,” said Villanova coach Jay Wright. “If you want to get where you are sure that you’re going to get all your games in, the bubble’s the answer [and] the medical experts will agree to that. The challenge for us is ... our players and students. They’re not employees so to force someone to go into a bubble is shaky. And, if you do it for the men you have to do it for the women, which doubles the cost for everybody ... [and] we don’t think the schools, really have the finances to do that.”

Is anyone doing a bubble? Is the Big East having more games cancelled than other conferences or do we not know that?

 

[Waquoit]

If you put all these teams in a bubble to play games, where does the college come in? Or are we not pretending anymore, like college football.

Nobody else is doing a bubble so far. It seems like the Big East has had more teams going on pause but I think that may just be because we're paying the most attention to those teams

This is the most insane talking point that's brought up over and over. How is it any different learning and doing assignments from a home bedroom, dorm bedroom, or a hotel room?

College football did a bubble???

The grammar was that bad?

Yes.

 

[Waquoit]

That's unpossible!

They tried Bubbleville. It didn’t work.
