College sports are currently in flux due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. Michigan State Athletic Director Bill Beekman recently held a Zoom call to discuss the state of sports in East Lansing.
Beekman mentioned the possibility of playing the 2020-21 college basketball season in some type of bubble-like environment, noting the success of the NBA’s bubble. In particular, Beekman believes this idea can work because so many classes are available online.

Personally, I think Beekman is right on the money here, literally. A bubble-like environment is feasible for college basketball because classes are online and teams are much smaller than a sport like football. We’ll see how this idea develops over the next few months.
