Power conferences considering “bubble” college basketball season

With the NBA’s bubble down in Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando working to near perfection, several power conferences are reportedly considering a similar move for the college basketball season.

According to college basketball insider Jon Rothstein, conferences have had early discussions about playing games in a “bubble” type setting.

“Several power conferences in college basketball have had preliminary discussions about holding games next season in a “bubble” type setting,” said Rothstein. “This is one of many potential options on the table, but one that gains traction with student athletes taking classes online.”
