Interesting thought bubble on the NCAA and the effect of coronavirus on travel and schedules.
Basically, if there are no fans in the stands (a distinct possibility), perhaps teams should limit travel as much as possible.
Can you make a legitimate 25-game basketball schedule travelling less than two hours (or so) by bus for your favorite team?
If Kentucky had to do this, it'd be epic:
Made for TV Games
U of L
Dayton
Cincinnati
Xavier
Purdue*
Indiana*
Vanderbilt*
Ohio State*
Tennessee*
Butler*
* Indicates a neutral site game
Other Games
Murray State
NKU
WKU
EKU
Morehead State
Marshall
Miami (OH)
Evansville*
IUPUI*
Indiana State*
Lipscomb*
Austin Peay*
Middle Tennessee State*
Wright State*
Calipari would hate that schedule, fwiw. Not enough bunnies.
How does your favorite team stack up?

This is a football story, but I will not be surprised if many high level players in football and basketball look into short term moves if their home state has doubts about playing Fall and/or Winter sports."A source close to the situation says “if fall sports were guaranteed to happen in the state of Illinois, this would’ve never been a discussion."

This bus ride system is going to be tough on Gonzaga. They'll have to play Washington State and Idaho 15 times each.
