This is moving the direction of college basketball in March. The result will

most likely be cancellation of the season.

For the NCAA basketball tournament, it was:

-we'll let fans attend, but have them sit 6 feet apart.
-we'll play the games without fans
-tournament cancelled

NCAA football:

-There will be a season. Testing and quarantining Covid-positive players
-P5 will play a conference-only schedule

Soon to come:
-Games will be played without fans
-Season cancelled

Well they're going to be paying out millions in cancelation fees. They won't

Last to do this would be SEC, ACC, then maybe BIG 12. There will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth down

There is, as suggested in this article. The Big 12 might need games . . .

Even so, ESPN will reduce its payout to BYU under these circumstances

I don’t think all the Independents will be willing to travel that far.

The AAC has only 11 schools and an ESPN media contract

Maybe but travel distance might deter the conference from doing that
