2021 March Madness: Complete schedule, dates | NCAA.com

In a season where so much learning is remote, why is the NCAA running a normal schedule for three weekends for the big dance? I think they should have done the rounds every 2-3 days so teams would have a 1 or 2 day break in between, just to reduce the travel and exposures. Half the teams leave every round, so the population in the bubble would shrink pretty fast. If the NBA was able to do a bubble, the NCAA should have done one or gotten as close as possible to having one. It would have been easier than the NBA bubble because it would have only lasted two weeks.

There is a pretty high probability that one or more teams end up bounced for Covid, and that will suck if it happens in the later rounds.
