ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION
"We're going to talk about how disruptive COVID has been to sports, particularly college sports. We know that it has led to the cancellation or suspension of games, an uncertainly over the schedule going forward. It also raises issues of health, certainly given the risk that the virus has."
"In addition, we will look at how it has affected recruiting."
"What does the student-athlete do when there aren't games?"
"We'll get the UNH perspective. How it has been for them since the pandemic started? How the transition to the fall semester has worked in terms of restrictions and guidelines on interaction and just the basic things we can do."
