This didn’t go unnoticed by @barstoolsports or the @foreplaypod boys. They quickly rallied together and created the #letthemplay classic. It has officially been announced that not only did they have over 40 players commit to the event, but it will be a full team event and the NCAA has approved it!

This isn’t just a win for Barstool or the ladies who get a chance to finish out their season, but it’s a win for the entire sport. I wonder if the original event was a men’s tournament, if it would have been canceled. Barstool stepped up and used their pull to do something great for the sport.

The event will take place @whirlwindgolf from May 20th-21st. I tip my cap to everyone involved in getting this put together. Great job!
