Is the Champions Classic in Jeopardy??

According to Matt Norlander, MTE's (bubbles) in Orlando could be in Jeopardy. "Widespread concern is quickly escalating over the stability — if not survival — of every Orlando-based ESPN event." A month ago, it seemed as though if there was going to be ONE location that was going to be the most secure in terms of attracting teams and holding MTEs, it was Orlando. That’s simply no longer the case.” "At this point, conferences (let alone schools) have different regulations in place for testing. And those differences in opinion and regulations have created a ripple effect of liability and flexibility (or lack thereof) that’s made things difficult to securely schedule.” He says this decision could impact more than 2 dozen Power 5 schools that would be participating in different bubbles down in Orlando. The reason there are alot of concerns about all the Orlando bubbles In terms of Kentucky, Norlander says he expects the Champions Classic to be played in "whatever capacity". He says major announcements regarding this should come soon "in the next 2-3 days". Scheduling is a mess this year Read through his Tweets here: https://twitter.com/MattNorlander/status/1320364281892843521?s=19
