[quote="Paultzman" post=401328]The first hoops postponement

The University of Miami and Stetson University announced Wednesday the season-opening men’s basketball game between the two schools has been postponed following a positive COVID-19 test within the Stetson program.[/quote]

Buckle up. This isn't going to be pretty

I forgot about John Beilein too, and I think if Matta hems and haws too much someone like Beilein would be more than happy to sneak in there.
 
The Ivy League will meet on Thursday night to discuss plans for both winter and spring sports, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation.

The conference was also the first league to cancel fall sports due to COVID-19.

Sources: All 22 Division 1 schools in New York State have submitted a formal request to the New York State Department of Health to have the travel guidelines and quarantine periods waived for those participating in winter sports, most notably college basketball

Zach B - The Ivy League has cancelled winter sports.

1. The Ivy League canceling winter sports isn’t surprising. 2. lt does not mean other leagues will follow. 3. There will be a season of some kind. 4. It will be a mess. 5. Bubbles a few weeks at a time should be the focus for every league.

“Save the Season. Move the start back. Play league schedule and have May Madness. Spiking and protocols make it impossible to play right now.”

Hate to say it, but there is some sense to this. The protocols are impossible.

Four-star big man Elijah Hutchins-Everett announces he’s decommitting from Penn State.
 
Jim Boeheim has COVID-19

University statement;

"Our top priority is the health and well-being of our student-athletes, Coach Boeheim and all members of the basketball program. Per our COVID safety protocols, following Coach's positive test we conducted an additional round of testing for all members of the basketball program. From that testing we learned that one other member of the program has tested positive. As such, we made the decision to pause all basketball-related activities. We are following all CDC guidelines and ACC protocols, and working closely with the Onondaga County Department of Health, to mitigate further transmission of the virus. All members of the basketball program will be tested again, multiple times, over the next week."

Not basketball related but interesting nonetheless to think about when again after this upcoming 'season' of college basketball, how there will again likely be not so much movement among the coaching fraternity. Unless of course you have football money to throw around.

The Univ. of South Carolina fired football coach Will Muschamp after a 2-5 start to the season despite questions regarding pandemic-impact finances that made the idea of firing him before '21 "seem, at best, impractical," according to Ben Breiner of the Columbia STATE. If Muschamp's deal "was not negotiated down in some way, the school will owe him" $3.3M for "each of the next four years, less whatever he makes at a new job in those seasons" (Columbia STATE, 11/16). THE ATHLETIC's Andy Staples notes the move comes as the pandemic has cost South Carolina's athletic department "millions and forced the department to furlough employees and/or cut their pay." The decision "sends a clear signal that no financial shortfall and no extraordinary circumstances will keep college sports administrators from giving millions to coaches to not work." There will be "plenty of complaints about South Carolina's decision to spend so much money to jettison Muschamp." Staples: "But I'm not sure even the shortfall caused by the pandemic -- estimated to be as much as $54 million -- would have stopped this from happening." If an athletic department "can't sell all the seats in its stadium, then it becomes even more reliant on the kindness of individual donors." However, donors "must be inspired to give, and if the department is promising more of something they hate, they'll be disinclined to write checks." South Carolina "probably had less choice in this matter than you think," as it "was going to lose eight figures on this deal either way" (THEATHLETIC.com, 11/16).

If he really wants to be spiteful, he should take a job with a salary of 1 cent for the next four seasons and leave South Carolina on the hook for $13,199,999.96.
