With the Big Ten having postponed all fall sports this past week, it was fair to become concerned about what the decision meant for winter sports. I’ve been worried about the potential obstacles the Rutgers men’s basketball team would need to overcome just to be back on the court for next season for awhile now. Watching the college football climate over the past few weeks was enough to give pause as to whether the Big Ten and NCAA would be able to figure out how to save college basketball.
Why is there any reason to be optimistic that college basketball can take place in the midst of a global pandemic such as COVID-19?
