Here's a look at the indoor practice facility prior to installation of the turf. For scale, check out the person crossing the field. BGA Daily had an update after this photo was taken HERE.

USA Today had a story yesterday under the headline, Giving NCAA athletes another year of eligibility for coronavirus cancellations is costly. (LINK)

Green Alert Take: Given that the Ivy League doesn't offer athletic scholarships the Ivies would be saved that expense. However, running the most programs of any conference in the nation would run up the cost.

Green Alert Take II: Maybe I haven't been reading these stories closely enough, but while it would be wonderful to give the graduating seniors a fourth and final year of participation, what about the freshmen, sophomores and juniors who also will have been robbed of a year of college athletics? Granted, it wouldn't be their final season but three full classes of athletes would each have only three years to compete. That doesn't seem fair, either.

Want to get figuratively away? I mean, really away? After 10 tonight, CLICK HERE for a chance to watch the Northern Lights live. I don't know about you, but I think a peek toward the heavens would be pretty calming right now.
