Lovell’s Analysis
It’s incredible to see the momentum behind these charity games.
Missouri and Kansas raised $1.75 million Sunday during their exhibition contest, and it’s great that many other teams around the country are teaming up to try and deliver even more support to hurricane victims.
The NCAA gets a lot of criticism, and rightly so at times. However, at least it got this one right in allowing these games to happen.
Not only is it a fun event for players and coaches in getting ready for the start of the new season, but also one that can help better tons of lives following the devastating hurricanes.
