The ESPN Orlando MTE bubbles have been cancelled. I really hope I'm wrong, but it looks like we're headed towards a conference only schedule. The season is supposed to start in about 4 weeks. Maybe I should back away from the cliff, but COVID ruined March Madness, hasn't even peaked yet, and is about to ruin this season.

Well they definitely won't cancel March Madness this year, too much money they need to make up. And luckily we've got that decent pre-season ranking, so if worst comes to worst, we'll still be in decent enough shape. I mean it'd suck, don't get me wrong, but for post-season aspiration purposes, it'd be fine.Comment

If the NCAA doesn't get the CBS/Turner money this year, they are probably bankrupt. The tournament is happening.
The teams that were heading to Orlando are already starting to pair up to run regional MTEs. Most teams are going to get 22-25 in and we'll have a reasonable season and post season. Keep in mind that this season in kind of just gravy because no one is losing any eligibility by playing. 21-22 could be one of the greatest college basketball seasons ever.Comment

Well are all going to deserve an epic 21-22. What a sh*t show this year has been.Originally posted by BCPanther View Post"...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."Comment

Agree. The NCAA is in the tank without a tournament this year. I think it happens.Originally posted by BCPanther View Post
Under exactly what circumstances we'll see. But I think it'll be played.Winning is more fun than losing.Comment

Am I missing something? Why does this news about Orlando affect the tournament UNI is rumored to be a part of in Nebraska? Are we just assuming our bubble will burst as well??Originally posted by CyCarp View PostComment

The game in Sioux Falls with New Mexico State is off after NMSU pulled out.
Jake expects that we may still be scheduling games after the season starts and didn't rule out playing in another MTE if something would pop up in December.Comment
