Mental health?! NBA and NHL players are in a bubble, not a word about their mental health. What about the soccer players in the Euro 2020/regular season? Majority same age as those in college.
College Basketball 2020- '21

NBA and NHL players are getting paid millions and are professionals.
European soccer wasn’t played in bubbles outside of the UEFA tournaments.
CUSA should go to conference only schedule. Do it now. It makes no sense to play non conference games at this level this year.
Without non-conference games, you’re selecting the NCAA tournament based only on conference standings. There’s “no way” to tell if the 2nd place CUSA team is “more worthy” than the 7th place Big 10 team.
Without non-conference, they will just take an average of the last few years and CUSA will be destined for 1 bid.
CUSA is a one bid league. Nothing right now will change that. That's why it makes no sense this year to play non conference games. The regular season is always irrelevant. The season doesnt start until the conference tournament.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the men’s team mirrors this game wise.
NCAA/Teams should just make regional round robbin pre-season games. 5-8 games and then go to conference play. Play them all within the period between Thanksgiving and Xmas. No need for pre-season tournaments this year (unless they are the regional).
NCAA should just make up regions and teams have to play within that region. UTEP could be part of Texas, Southwest or Rocky Mountain region. Either way we could get some good games.

I agree. Have like 8 team pods, regional if you can. Play 7 games in about 3 weeks,maybe you double up on 1 or 2 teams and call it a non-conference. Maybe you can add games later in the year if the situation calls for it.
So teams started practicing 12 hrs/week yesterday, but official start of practice is Oct 14th. How many hours per week when official practice starts?
8 weeks is a long time to practice with no scrimmages or exhibitions with other teams. Hopefully we can get some good updates from the players, coaches and media on the teams progress.

So we have Pheonix, Tuscon, Las Cruces, Albuquerque and Lubbock all within about 5.5 hours. This could easily get us 7 games. Im pretty sure we will do a H&H with NMSU and UNM.

I think 25 games would be good. Keep the preseason games regional and then play the regular 18 conference games.
NCAA needs to just work towards safety and having the NCAA tourney. Whatever they do though I'm sure it will be unfair for mid-majors
