Anyone know how often players and staff will get tested ??

One of the stars of this weekend, Graham Mertz for Wisconsin, has tested positive. He’ll retest to confirm the result. If positive again, he must sit for 21 days, meaning he misses 3 games in an 8 game season.

Why can’t we have nice things?

No one should freak out if theres a case, Its expected and theres a 99% chance theyll be just fine. Also, MLB was doing 10 day quarantine, where did 21 days come from?

"Mertz will take a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test to confirm the result. If confirmed, Mertz would have to miss a minimum of 21 days, according to the Big Ten's protocols for athletes who test positive."

Wisconsin’s backup, Chase Wolf, has also tested positive and needs to confirm through a PCR. If positive, he would also have to sit for minimum 21 days. Wisconsin would be on to their 4th string QB for minimum 3 games. COVID Football!!!!

21 days was set by the Big 10 for their teams only.

Each Power Five conference tests players at least three times per week, but the Big Ten’s mandatory 21-day hiatus for players who test positive is the longest of the group. In the SEC, players who test positive must sit out at least 14 days, while it’s at least 10 days in the ACC, Big 12 and Pac-12.

Louisville is in Kentucky and has much more lax rules for Covid-19. A similar scenario could be in store for URI when it visits Western Kentucky. It may be the only OOC game for URI where there will be fans in the stands. There will be a greater risk for Rhody players there than elsewhere.

Dang, which one of these teams do not belong?

Kansas, Gonzaga, Auburn and ….. St. Joes?

Wow, did St. Joes win a game in the A10 last year? I joke I know they did, I am sure they will be better but this is some of the elite teams in college basketball at least the last couple of years. Just surprised they would be added to a field like that. Maybe the others wanted a guaranteed win. Remind me again, who dropped out of this, and is this guaranteed to be played? Was this not part of the ESPN bubble games. Have they found a home for this tournament?

OK I reread the tweet, it will be played in Fort Myers. I missed that earlier and is the first I heard that it was rescheduled.

If you just had a bucket in a sitting, I doubt the noise you're making is "yum," I'm afraid.

Gina: No spectators at sports of any kind in Rhody for the next two weeks.

I didn't know they were at all now anyway...

She also said youth hockey kids accounting for a lot of new cases. All ice rinks closed for 1 week. "Locking it down right now because we're seeing extremely disturbing trends."

LOL..."starting Monday".

So, just so I have this right...it's safe today and this weekend, but starting Monday, no can do...see: health emergency.

Bad news for them , especially after struggling against BC. I see Alabama and Ohio State getting the top 2 spots, Clemson can fall out of the top 5 if they lose big to Notre Dame.

What you are seeing in college football right now is what you can expect to see in college basketball. Prepare yourself for players testing positive and having to sit out and in extreme cases some games being cancelled. Things could change at any time with any program.

Per a headline in the Hartford Courant there will not be fans allowed at their basketball games this season. Players and coaches will be allowed 4 tickets each.

Another smart scheduling move by Pitino

Keep games close by, develop and/or enhance local rivalries

Iona opens the season with nearby Fordham

Rhode Island Schools don’t get this.

One day Iona May knock on the A10 Door for membership. Pitino is moving that program quickly in recruiting, transfers and scheduling.

Like the league needs another tiny school with a high-school gym. Iona was insignificant before Little Ricky brought his hookers to New Rochelle and will return to insignificance as soon as his circus leaves town.

Now that we're less than 3 weeks away from the season, I'm wondering what the media will be allowed to do? Will we see many games on TV? Will Steve and Don be allowed to do radio broadcasts in person? Will local TV stations be allowed to get highlights and do interviews? Will newspaper people be allowed in? I'm not hearing anything about what kind of coverage we will be getting.
