    AT&T "girl"? Seriously. She's 34.

    Grand Canyon University is one of four for-profit institutions in the NCAA and the only one of them in Division I.

    VCU tossed out of the tournament due to COVID protocols.

    I suppose, but I thought they had a near-bubble to avoid situations just like this.

    So, I'm moderating the postgame zooms for one venue, and I'm working like mad to keep the randos out. We had been asking media to update their Zoom settings with name AND affiliation, which most hadn't been doing, then we found out that most couldn't change settings with this webinar format. Fortunately I've been a media wretch long enough that I recognize a lot of reporters, and I'm getting some help from SIDs, but during the conference I'm also furiously searching twitter for other names that I don't recognize, like student paper reporters. I imagine that some other moderators aren't as thorough.

    My final game tonight was also going to be Oregon-VCU. Ugh.

    It still can take up to week after exposure to get a positive. So unless they've all been in the bubble since last Thursday or Friday there is a chance right now. Also, who knows how tight that bubble is.

    That’s a thankless job in a normal year. Appreciate you stepping up.

    By the time Bama’s presser got to Nate Oats they did a pretty good job getting it to the in-state regulars. Poor Herb Jones was getting Mass Comm 101 questions from some guy from Springfield, Mass., and some independent website called Hoop HD.

    Did they defeat University of Phoenix to make the tourney?

    OK so there is bound to be more teams infected, right?
