Arizona basketball adding clauses to limit liability if games are cancelled

Arizona is contracted to pay a total of $642,000 to seven nonconference game opponents next season, but the Wildcats now have some additional pandemic protection.

In contracts for the final two games completed in Arizona’s 2020-21 schedule, against Wyoming and Loyola Marymount, UA added a clause called “travel and play restrictions” that essentially says nobody will be held liable if the game cannot be played as a result of decisions by the NCAA, conferences or government authorities.

The clause also states that the two parties will make a “good faith effort” to reschedule the game to the extent allowed by governing bodies and, “if it cannot be reasonably rescheduled, this agreement will terminate and neither party will have any liability to the other.
