I would think participants would be barred from the casino. I mean if they are going to do a tourney, everyone needs to be safe... Football not working out so well so far, but it remains to be seen if it's viable long term...

I'm sure it will be laid out to every school that opts in that the coaching staff have to be on-board. Ten days of room service sounds great right now.
