If they have a tourney, will COVID cause a forfeit or will they just re-bracket you?

Or will that depend on who you are?

NCAA has to have the tournament. If they don't, you may see many athletic departments disappear.

you are going to have teams that played 10 more games than other teams in the same conference

They didn't have a problem letting Ohio State into the CFP. They had five wins and had to get a special exemption to play in their conference championship to make it to six games.

Yep---and what only 1-2 months earlier the conference set the rule---and then changed it and SCREWED MINN

NCAA just gets operation costs from these tournament games and a fee for rainy say operation such as when season it hit with a pandemic.

The vast majority of the money is returned to the member schools. That is why our check this past year was much lower than usual years.

The NCAA is not getting rich on the tournament.

Are you simple or just stone cold stupid?

I'm not sure about Memphis, but this article about Coastal Carolina and East Carolina says $100 per test. Or they can use pool tests that breakdown to like $15 per negative test.

Don't forget the NCAA has nothing to do with the CFP.

While true, the NCAA does determine bowl-eligibility. Six wins would have been enough to get in even if they hadn't relaxed that this year though...

Yeah the bowl system is a much better example since the NCAA deals with that. And it shows that the potential discrepancy won't matter that much, if at all like you mention.

The NCAA is surviving economically because of the tournament.

I recall AD Veatch saying late summer that the university had struck a deal with one of the local medical groups for testing at about half the normal rate, ~$50/test. That was before the batch or pool testing concept. Not sure if the university is employing that or not.

I believe we are testing about 3 times per week.

Penny seemed frustrated yesterday with all the cancellations. He said programs needed to do a better job with "bubbles". School, practice, home. After their initial "outbreak" this summer after they first reported back to school, the program seems to be doing pretty good.

Well he said 9 of the guys already had it...That really lowers the risk.

NCAA has no say in the CFP the CFP committee runs that

That was nice to get that deal. Hopefully at this point pool testing is commonplace for all teams.

I bet he's frustrated. We're turning into the basketball version of Houston.
