Getting past the fantasy of a nationwide system of noncon bubbles —
Buy game teams will show if they possibly can because they have to in order to finance their Athletic departments, but...
Will they be able to afford to do the necessary testing and monitoring of ALL the individuals in their programs to ensure that they won’t pass on the virus to a home team and derail The start of that team’s conference season?

Inevitable, logical progression.

Here's hoping we eventually reschedule.  We would still love to visit our SoCal family for a game, since they're Bruins fans

I have a friend at work from Chicago who had a ton of cousins and friends go to MU. He went to UCLA and is a huge fan, but MU had always been his second favorite. Then his son - who grew up as a big UCLA fan - went to MU for undergrad and is currently there for law school. Now, his son is an MU fan first, and UCLA second. And the lines are blurring for my friend...to the point where when the series was announced, he said he was torn about who he'd cheer for.

Needless to say, I shared my opinion. And I included something about a fatherly duty to support his son's interests.... ;)

I'm right with Save. This was an excuse to visit by CA family. Hopefully just pushed back a year or two.

Marquette starts the season 1-0. Granted it's a forfeit but MU garners it's first win ever against the UCLANS.

Too bad Marquette didn't cancel UCLA.   Some people are just smarter than others.

Hopefully, this gets us off the Last 4 in line.

Here we go... message board posters questioning university presidents and doctors.

UCLA canceled MU instead of vice versa because the Pac 12 cancelled fall sports before the BE did.

If there is a 'smart' gap, it's with the conferences as a whole....
