Not surprising. Several islands were devastated and won't be back to normal for a year or more. Some may take several years.

The 2017 U.S. Virgin Islands Paradise Jam will be relocated to a yet-to-be-determined location within the mainland United States, tournament directors announced Friday. The event, which has been held on St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands for 17-straight years, was forced to relocate due to damage caused by Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria within the last two weeks. Requests for proposal (RFP) to host the tournaments have been sent to all participating 2017 teams. Tournament directors will work to determine finalized locations by Friday, Sept. 29.

Our men are supposed to play at a tournament in Puerto Rico; I bet it will be relocated, too.

Re: Supporting USVI - I'd settle for a huge contingent of UConn fans making the trip.
