My guess is weather cancellations are covered

Can’t control the weather with outdoor sports, so no recourse. Plus there isn’t much $$ in softball contracts, I could be mistaken. Heck I think schools are putting in pandemic related clauses in their contracts now. Remember last fall an article said how UT was covered pretty good if/when non conference games got canceled in 2020 & 2021 while most schools didn’t have that type of clause at the time.

Very true which is why I asked the question, albeit probably too early, -- VTHokie2000 02/28/2022 11:48AM

I had a similar thought, but I think Troy doesn't exactly "move the needle" -- AlfHokie 02/28/2022 4:32PM
