Butler at UCONN cancelled

[UConnDad]

Thought we were shortchanged from last year!

It wouldn't surprised me if bigger schools led a movement that lobbied the NCAA to allow them to play more than 31 regular season games next year to compensate for the loss of games and revenue the last few years. This 33-35 game season would then find a way to stick around forever.

We have 42 tickets to this game lol. Really hoping there's a decent unwritten refund policy

Glass half full, hopefully Sanogo can get fully healthy and in game shape

Hey, John, that's weird. That glass looks half full to me.

Wow, now that you mention it, it is half full.

I'm sure if you call they will refund you. They just don't want to publish that and see if they can get people to go to the rescheduled game or exchange it for another down the road.

According to the CDC, after the 5 day isolation from a positive test there should be 5 days of mask-wearing (instead of 10 days of isolation).

So, no, they would not be playing games.

Try again. I bet you can figure it out with a second chance at it.

UConn has no say

I'm not sure about that? We've seen schools posting on Twitter looking for games, and at least last year I know some were created that way. Not saying we can but... maybe? Let me hold out some hope here, ok?

Maybe we should just play in March only have March madness and that’s the season if this is how it’s gonna be every season.

Used to be the case and still is for non-conf, but conf make up games are all done by the conference this year.

Doubt it, honestly. Once you get more they will never go back and the season has already crept earlier and earlier. Used to start Thanksgiving weekend. Now it starts Mid November. And the major schools won’t want to interfere with football any more than they already do. They are not reliant on basketball ticket sales for revenue. The Mid-majors are the ones hurt by Covid cancellations, not the Power 5 and it ain’t happening without P5.

Ah, thanks for clarifying that for me - bummer but I get it. Hopefully BE steps up with all the cancellations and tries to squeeze some games in.

I admire the dedication yall show to still get mad about college basketball given the current state of the world.

Narrow view. It’s the kids livelihoods and their careers. It’s a lot more than a game at this level.

That such the popular and trendy thing to say. If you support cancelled games then you are anti UConn. I guess you shouldn’t root for UConn in March then because there will be more important things going on.

Athletes are being used for profit by the global corporatocracy, even after getting the vaccine.

I agree that there's nothing wrong with kvetching about cancelled games on a college basketball message board, but your comment is melodramatic, and probably inaccurate. If career-affecting stuff is happening, it's happening to everyone, so, on average, one would not expect the current players to be negatively affected (future career-wise) relative to their peers.

Also, you might not know what the phrase "narrow view" means.

@navery12 @Get a Job

Are you guys aware of the risk level of covid to these athletes at their age? It’s minimal at best..

I understand there are people in higher risk categories. But at this point they are either vaccinated or have the option to stay home and not engage with others.

The argument for testing asymptomatic young athletes and punishing them via quarantine is weak.

You are accomplishing nothing yet interfering with their livelihoods.

Of course the cautious approach is always well revered but it doesn’t mean it’s the right approach for everyone…

I think people in your camp of thought are indeed being selfish while assuming you are doing the right thing

At some point we will have to let people live their lives..

How is missing some games affecting their livelihoods? If you can convince me of that, I'd be more amenable to your argument. I do think that the dangers to the players and society of loosening the protocols are low and trending further downward. I just don't think, in the "broad" view, that there is a big cost to erring on the side of caution as it pertains to college basketball.

There has been no greater harm than the harm we've given our young people by shutting down schools, closing parks and playgrounds, cancelling sports, isolating them, and covering their faces with masks for 2 years. The effects will be felt for generations.

 

[Rumrunner]

Ironically, there is no mention of the players' well-being, bestowing thoughts and prayers that they overcome such a burdened disease. We know why, cynically, everyone- except politicized science deniers- understands that there is zero risk to UConn basketball players in playing basketball. Why UConn can't proceed using that assumption is baffling.

Damn, I would have thought it was still rapes and murders.
