Nope, it wasn’t optimal. So much that the game was cancelled.
We all know it was now and have probably read every article discussing it and analyzing the administrative steps that went along with the decision to not play the game. Any one of us can easily sit back and say what we would have done differently but I believe that we only know a fraction of what when on behind the scenes.
Being an athletic administrator cannot be easy and I do not envy them. Whatever they were dealing with I am sure they were keeping the safety of the teams and staff in mind when they came to the final decision.
