Surprising!  Cal's schedule still shows UW and WSU coming to Berkeley this weekend to play at Haas Pavilion. So I was expecting Stanford might arrange to play them at Haas too, or somewhere else nearby but outside of Santa Clara County.

Maybe they looked into that but couldn't make it work; who knows.

I wonder if anyone in the decision making power structure for Santa Clara County has thought that maybe, just maybe banning Stanford sports without any evidence that the practices or events contribute to Covids spread is an over reach that inflicts cost and risk to Stanford athletes?  And let’s not get bogged down in “setting an example” or “zero tolerance “ rules. Shutting down Stanford sports is simply not the same as banning jr high school competition.

I know they are trying to do,the right thing as they see it.  I do think their decision making would benefit from a broader perspective.
Not trying to engage in a broad based Covids debate here, just wishing for the use of a surgeons knife instead of a butchers hatchet.

As mentioned previously (possibly here), SCC's actions also destroy the perfect round robin symmetry of the conference schedule.  And that definitely sucks, too.
