Seeking6 Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 More on the subject of bubble basketball. Depending on how the nonconference schedule plays out,etc....if teams can't play or are forced to back out,etc....I don't see a reason why we couldn't grab 7-8 teams from around the state and play each. Pick a location. Indy or Bloomington or wherever. Thursday to Sunday. Could get 2-3 games in each weekend or bubble. Get Evansville, Ball St, Indiana St, Butler, Valpo, Purdue, ND,etc....and we could get 6 nonconference games in. Save Purdue for conference portion of bubble down the road.

Possibly but any games like that would take a lot of planning in advance. With so many unknowns planning anything would be a nightmare. Also it might be a hard time convincing a TV network to air games like that. Would be a small audience outside of Indiana. Sadly I still don't see basketball happening until next year. Go Hoosiers!!!

IUguy Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I just think it would be very difficult for the players to learn anything academic wise in such an environment, let alone being sequestered somewhere for such a long time frame. Remember, despite how athletically skilled they are, they are still just kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All classes would have to be streamed or recorded and then all quizes and test need to be proctor'd. Would the NCAA investigate if grades were being given instead of earned. Well, they didn't investigate UNC when they did that. So I guess UNC ahead of its time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
