Duke cancels season

[betterstill]

It would not surprise me if the OU team did that. One advantage we have is that there are so few players they have fewer people to get exposed from.

Duke women's basketball team ending 2020-21 season because of COVID-19

The Duke women's basketball program is canceling the rest of its basketball season because of COVID-19 issues, the team announced. The Blue Devils were off to a 3-1 start but had not played since a 73-49 loss to Louisville on Dec. 9 as the team dealt with COVID-19 issues.

"The student-athletes on the Duke women's basketball team have made the difficult decision to conclude their current season due to safety concerns," Michael Schoenfeld, Duke's Vice President for Public Affairs & Government Relations and Chief Communications Officer, said in a release.

SMU women’s team has opted out, too.

Wow, they were 0-6! That would make the decision to not risk their health to play on a struggling team that much easier, for me anyway. I certainly hope this doesn't happen for OU, however, if they struggle to fill a 6 player roster moving forward, why not opt out for the season? Would that preserve a year of eligibility for the players? God knows we do not need another season of SC's blatant favoritism of Simpson, but if the player's health's are at risk, and they aren't winning many games, I say go for it.

This year is already a year that does not count against eligibility. So opting out doesn’t matter for eligibility.

I would imagine Simpson will be back...
