<blockquote><p>UGA and Bowling Green athletic officials last week signed off on a nonconference men’s basketball game to be played in Stegeman Coliseum in the second week of November.</p>
<p>It’s a standard move in the springtime to fill out holes in a schedule for the coming season.</p>
<p>What was different in the two page document — obtained by the Athens Banner-Herald from Bowling Green in an open records request — was the language that reflects planning for future sports events in the time of COVID-19.</p>
<p>It refers for the first time in a UGA contract to “epidemic, pandemic or public health emergency,” in a force majeure clause that would make it “impossible or impractical the playing of the Game or which prevents the participation of at least one of the Parties in the Game.”</p></blockquote>
<p>You&#8217;ve come a long way from condom clauses, Greg.  Good show.</p>
