Since there is so much revenue tied up in international students at all colleges, I have to believe you're right and that they will all offer some kind of in person outdoor lab or study hall, even if all other indoor in-person classes are cancelled, to get around this rule.ChooChooCat wrote:I can't imagine there's not a way around this for universities. Truth be told all it takes is for Robbins/Crow (both bball teams let alone other programs on campus will have foreigners) to talk to someone like Sinema or even McSally (as worthless as she is) and there's things that can be done for our guys. I'm sure there's also a class that can be set up for all the guys that's "online," but has some in person lab or something to get around that.
Yeah there's too much money at stake here on numerous different levels. If work arounds don't work for some reason then politics will do its job.Chicat wrote:Since there is so much revenue tied up in international students at all colleges, I have to believe you're right and that they will all offer some kind of in person outdoor lab or study hall, even if all other indoor in-person classes are cancelled, to get around this rule.ChooChooCat wrote:I can't imagine there's not a way around this for universities.

Yeah. For the early rounds, they could have multiple "bubbles" in different cities (players and all team personnel tested regularly), each with a portion of the teams in the tournament. Pick cities with lower numbers of cases and strong health care capabilities. They could do the entire tourney in four cities.azgreg wrote:

No anything until then.
Like with football, not being able to get paid to get beat down in McKale for OOC is really going to hurt a lot of smaller colleges. Some may never recover as school funding is going to get cut, and they can't make up the difference in the athletic department.

It's just an article about a bubble OOC idea being pitched to several college hoops programs.
Nonconference bubble idea pitched to at least 50 college basketball programs
Jeff Borzello
ESPN Staff Writer
College basketball might have its first Plan B. An event operator in Houston has proposed a bubble involving 20 teams that would allow college basketball programs to play an entire nonconference schedule in three weeks in December.
Rhossi Carron, who ran a nonconference event in 2019 and has two planned for the upcoming season, said he sent a proposal to at least 50 programs.
It's believed to be the first detailed bubble proposal sent to programs for the 2020-21 college basketball season.
"Nothing is bulletproof, but based on what medical professionals are telling me, a bubble might be the only way to do it," Carron told ESPN. "Our goal is to create a safe, controlled and competitive environment that places priority on the safety of the student-athlete."

I'm even reading that the "bubble" could be a shutdown college campus. I mean, good luck selling that to the community and the students' families. Imagine UofA saying to Tucson, "So, all classes and non-essential campus operations are suspended until further notice, and we're instead going to have only student-athletes on campus, quarantining, so they can play their seasons."azcat49 wrote:Watching any sports in a bubble sucks.

Start the petition to do it at Kansas. Lawrence is about as much the middle of nowhere as I can think of.Beachcat97 wrote:I'm even reading that the "bubble" could be a shutdown college campus.
