This past week the NCAA granted a special waiver that allowed teams to take part in an additional exhibition game wherein proceeds go toward relief efforts for recent tragedies across the nation. Multiple teams throughout college basketball scrambled to take advantage of this win-win situation as it allows for its basketball programs an extra opportunity for live competition while being able to contribute to charitable causes.
In collaboration with the Grand Canyon Athletic Department, Nevada was able to arrange a game between two teams that are projected to win their respective conferences.
The proceeds of tonight’s game will go toward the North Bay Fire Relief Fund for the victims of the recent California wildfires.
