Anybody know what has been scheduled in the non conference. Curious if St. Bonnie and Iona are coming to Athens, and if we have an MTE scheduled.

I think the Iona series has run its course. I would think the Bonnies are coming at some point. We've played them several times this century, more than any non-MAC school other than Marshall. I like them as a regular opponent.

I would expect buy games to get way more complicated. The mid to low level P5s may seek out buy games for themselves. Envision Kentucky paying someone like Minnesota $75,000 or something. I also read a hypothesis this week that if games are played next year but fans aren't allowed in, the host schools could only be on the hook for paying the travel logistics. If that happens, I hope mid majors collectively tell those schools to pound sand and schedule a home and home instead.

Other than that, I know nothing.

If we are in that boat in winter, there will be no college hoops. Schools cannot operate with no fans, there would be zero way to cover the costs and schools are already being pummeled in loss of revenue.

The thought of this makes my stomach turn, but it could very well happen. Let's hope it doesn't come to this.

Ohio yesterday closed all facilities through July 1st, that’s College and High School campuses. No weights, no conditioning. Next week will be interesting when the GOP Heavy legislature convenes after a 6 week break.

It will be interesting to see how our local boy "Block 'em on Facebook Jay" votes on all of this stuff.

Ohio Football Alum, Jay Edwards, who makes it a point to get his photo at any event, but blocks anyone at the sign of the first negative comment on his page or his Twitter.

Will be an interesting week as the GOP leadership has promised legislation to strip the ODH and Dr Acton of her powers and to pass legislation that will open the state immediately
