Earlier today Ohio’s governor finally made the announcement that the sporting portion of the state had been waiting for: fall sports seasons can go ahead. There are caveats, only family members of the participants can be in the seats, site inspections for each team will be required, but everything from youth soccer to the NFL has been given the go ahead to play their sporting season without violating state law.
This is actually is a significant development for Xavier basketball. The Big East or the NCAA deciding to return to play would have no standing if Xavier’s own state was still prohibiting play.
