May look at playing in the Spring. Losing the OOC games made playing financially unviable, but they are citing player safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing the paydays and the cost of testing and supplies will shake out a lot of teams, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like UConn, they could call it "player safety" when really it's financial viability. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
