UNC vs. Kentucky in July? Why not?
While listening to the Carolina Insider Podcast that was released on Friday, Adam Lucas mentioned a proposal that is gaining steam within the NCAA to allow teams to host actual “scrimmages” during the summer practice period.
These aren’t the closed scrimmages that teams are allowed to play in the fall before the regular season begins either. These scrimmages could be open to the public, providing opportunities to fans to see their favorite teams at at a time when the sports calendar is pretty empty. Per Lucas, teams would be allowed to schedule two contests: either two separate contests, or one tournament that would consist of two games, and the proposal would go for both men’s and women’s basketball.
