2020-21 season?

[WuShock16]

Sports events that are not HS can submit to have an exemption .. i would expect WSU to get that exemption.

I seem to have heard somewhere that major sports are treated different because the size of the venue plus proper social distancing can allow for proper tracing. Yes, there’d be 3k at CKA but it really would be considered multiple gatherings of 400. Who knows?

Has the AAC published a schedule yet? I don’t think I’ve seen it. Has anyone else?

So are we going to have a season this year? As of right now, two weeks before the start of the season, we don’t have a confirmed schedule, likely don’t have a HC, and this morning I believe I heard on the radio that Sedgwick county is implementing a new rule limiting mass gatherings to 400 due to COVID (not sure of the exact number but close to this). So that would blow up the arena seating plan. I guess it’s no wonder we don’t have our tickets yet. Are we even going to play?

As far as the rest .. we will have SOME form of season. Still not convinced fans will be there by the time we make it to our first home game in December but we will have some number of games between 1 and 27 this year.

Which is why if there was ever a time for a throwaway season this is it.

“Czechia” made me think of another great reference.

“C’mon. It’s Czechoslovakia. We zip in. We pick ‘em up. We zip right out again. We’re not goin’ to Moscow. It’s Czechoslovakia. It’s like goin’ into Wisconsin.”

I once got my ass kicked in Wisconsin.

Great, there goes the plan to move the tournament to Czechia.

After further review...

...Turns out "all sports" was actually "no sports" under the auspices of the athletic department.

****in' Andorra.

WstateU will understand this.

Or Andorra, which I hear is lovely this time of year.

Just internet rumor at this stage, but a member of the rowing team said that Boatright told them this morning that all sports were being cancelled for the fall semester. Another thing from the Net that I haven't fact checked, but it seems reasonable. It was reported that Kansas requires a two-week quarantine for anyone returning from South Dakota, due to the prevalence of CV in that state, even though we're rapidly catching up with SD. I didn't check the accuracy of that because I thought it would work itself out as time passed.

Wouldn't surprise me if that "all sports" thing may have been a misunderstanding of the actual message from Boatright.

Seems strange because DB has exactly ZERO to do with rowing, as that is not under the umbrella of WSU-ICAA.

Boatright could have been relaying information he heard from Lee? Seems unlikely.

He wouldn't make a decision like that autonomously. That would be a national decision, one would think, and one not easily kept quiet at that, except for some remote tweet of a tweet.

Ain't buying it.
