I don't understand this quote: “We had a lot of problems with our apartment,” Allison said. “Caroline actually moved into a different apartment because we had so many problems, and I thought, ‘Well, I could live at home for the spring semester just to save a few bucks, so I ended up doing it.” What were the problems? Was there conflict between roommates? Were there bad neighbors? Were there plumbing problems? By the spring, Jacqueline would have been gone off to California. If Caroline also left, did that leave Mica by herself? Does the scholarship not cover rent? Perhaps it wouldn't cover 100% of the cost if she had no roommates? So many questions.

I have always wondered why African-American collegiate athletes would want to play for colleges in states (primarily in the South) whose electorate have historically not respected them as equal citizens. Even NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell issued a video statement on Friday saying "we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier" who were protesting police brutality. The current national protests have shown that athletics and politics do intersect. Just not so much at the collegiate level.

So anyone know the process for practice with Covid regulations?

So anyone know the process for practice with Covid regulations? No. For tennis, each player will have his/her own set of balls and only that player can touch them. You must return another player's ball only with your racket. Clearly, that can't happen with volleyball.

Just saw that UIUC will be having a mix of in-person and remote instruction on campus this fall semester, provided "Illinois stays on track to meet Phase 4 requirements established by Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s Restore Illinois plan that allow reopening of classrooms".
More guidance that has implications for the potential volleyball season:
"The size of gatherings will be based on standards under the state reopening guidelines in force this fall and beyond." "Outside visitors to campus will be asked to follow physical distancing and wear masks in public places."
I'm wondering if there will be spectators allowed in Huff provided there's six foot spacing while following those standards on crowd sizes. Going to be a tough call as to whether to re-up on season tickets if we're still in the thick of the pandemic. Hopefully they will at least allow the BTN broadcast crew!
