Private charter may be a tough expense for some schools, especially now.
And it's certainly no guarantee. Two stewardesses later tested positive on a player charter for the Australian Tennis Open, causing all kinds of problems.

I read this and got halfway through the first line and thought ... They're going to South Africa?!? isn't that the source location of the most virulent new strain of COVID-19?!?!?! Why would they do that, given the extra expense and risk and ... wait. that can't be right... Then I took a deep breath and kept reading ... Whew! |

The shorter break between rounds 2/3 and 4/5 will have an effect, especially between the E8 and FF semi. They have always had a 5 day gap which gave coaches a long time to both rest and prepare their teams. I've wondered whether that had something to do with UConn's many losses in the semi while never losing in the final.
