NCAA Div I Basketball - Start Date 11-25-2020

[cwdickens]

I suspect Will Brown and Colleen Mullen are working hard to come up with a limited non conference schedule that will test their respective teams prior to the conference games.

The questions that I have are:

• When will the America East announce the conference schedule for men's and women's basketball? (I am hoping prior to Columbus Weekend)
• When will UAlbany announce the non conference schedule for men's and women's basketball? (I am hoping for early October)
• When will there be an announcement if fans will be allowed in the stands?

Opinion: Currently, I do not feel safe visiting the UAlbany campus for an athletic events however; I believe the UAlbany administration  is making every effort to control the COVID-19 spread.  I am hoping when 11-25-2020 arrives, the opportunity to attend an athletic event will be there.

Agree with everything CW offering.  Except, I personally WOULD feel comfortable going to a football game TOMORROW-- with seating spaced out, masks and all social distance guidelines enforced. Numbers across NYstate continue to be excellent and even @ UA covid #s are by no means threatening IMHO.  Of Course, what teams we bring in and how to protect UA athletes is another matter; but me personally I'm READY and believe me when I say I have a # of pre-existing conditions and would NOT attend anything I did not feel save at.

I'm fully expecting UA to only allow season ticket holders to games and space us out. Hopefully I beat out the rest of ya folks and get my regular seats at center court and the 50 yard line :).

That’s if King Cuomo allows it. They have the cadets at Michie because King Cuomo has no jurisdiction over federal property. I’ve been thinking that they should have a limited number of fans in stadiums...professional rooters if you will. Equip them with mics and digitally multiply their effect by say 1000. Gotta be doable. That way you could have like 50 home fans and 10 travel fans and it would sound like 60,000.

I don't think you want to give me a mic...lol. Everyone in the northeast will know what a slant is and why we need to throw them (I wish idiot Adam Gase saw their benefit too).
