While the Mohegan Sun is a bit of a haul for the BE’s midwestern teams, it’s drivable for the fans from Providence, St Johns, Seton Hall, Nova and even Georgetown, which should lend to that old time BE tournament feel once fans are allowed back to games.

Would the Mohegan Sun be an appropriate Bubble Location if the NCAA/Big East decided in order to get a season in, they need to use a Bubble system? If not Moheagn, Sun, any other locations, perhaps Atlantic City?
