Covid Related Cancellations Adjustments Wreaking Havoc On Start Of College Basketball Season

But, folks, questions abound. How many games will actually be played, though, as the sport is reeling from a rash of COVID-related cancellations, adjustments and postponements? That’s an excellent question. What will those matchups be? Another great query. If nothing else, many are different now than they were on Monday, and others will certainly change again before tip-off time. Oh, and what the heck does MTE stand for? That one, friends, is a 2020 special — it stands for Multiple Team Event, where a host location (sometimes a place, sometimes a school/team) invites several schools/teams to their place for multiple days of games....

Covid Vaccines May Prevent Spread But Inoculated People Should Still Be Careful

While it is clear that the three COVID-19 vaccines authorized for emergency use in the United States are highly effective at preventing disease—particularly serious cases and deaths—the science is not yet settled on the question of transmission.

It did not go well, to say the least: The kick hit a Cowboy players’ leg before it traveled the required 10 yards. So the fact that the Cowboys recovered it was moot.
