ESPN’s plans to set up an NBA-like bubble for its college basketball events in Orlando have been scuttled due to ongoing differences between the network and the participating schools regarding the health and safety protocols as reported by The Athletic.
«We’ve decided to redirect our efforts to be sure the teams have enough time to make other plans» Clint Overby, vice president of ESPN Events, told The Athletic. «At the end of the day our bias was toward safety and making sure that what we pulled off was in the best interests of the sport. In the absence of those things, we decided we’re better off letting schools do their own thing».
