Everyone is banking on the COVID-19 pandemic being over and out at least by the start of 2020-21 but here's a hard cold fact that we might have to face.
Until there's a vaccine for almost everyone, people coming into close contact with each other (as they do in sports) ain't gonna happen. A vaccine is hopefully 12 - 18 months away. 6 - 9 months if the FDA fast tracks it. Do the math. Next year's high school and college season might be in jeopardy.
What do you think should be done if the 2021 class suffers the same fate as the 2020 class. I know many of us are not think about the what if but people didn't think about the pandemic much each and look what happened there.
Should the governing bodies of high school and college basketball be thinking about this NOW
Thoughts?
