NCAA TOURNEY/CORONAVIRUS
« on: March 11, 2020, 08:57:21 AM »
Ivy League Tourney cancelled

MAC conference will be played with out spectators along with the BIG WEST tourney

Dayton has suspended all on site activities which would include the first 4 tourney and they are working with the NCAA right now

Are we looking at a NCAA tourney with no spectators or even cancelled?

This has been in the back of my mind for some time. Illini finally get back to NCAA and tourney gets cancelled.

At least we had the RedTube Bowl!

I would go with the latter. Better weather, lower cost of living, more recreational activities, etc. Couldn't pay me enough to live in Chicago but to each his own.

I am supposed to be in Clearwater/Tampa next week and was going to try and see some games.
Hard to say what will happen.
The lack of response and adequate testing can only mean we are at the tip of the iceberg on getting a handle on this thing in USA.
One guy in NY area infected 50 people in a few days.
Europe and Asia have drive up testing available.
We have pretty much limited testing unless you get special approval.

My hunch is they are considering have games without spectators. The legal liability and community health risks are mounting by the hour.

Hell, most of the tournament games have many empty seats already.  Since no team knows where they'll be playing , there will be more empty seats because no one has bought their air fare yet.  It's a television tool except for the final 4.  I'd lean towards playing without the fans.  It's a tough call but the potential downside is significant. :'(
Who knows, maybe the zebras will call it fair?

It’d be so Illinois to finally make the tourney only for it to be cancelled because of some stupid virus.

This is so fucking stupid. Quite the overreaction and fear-mongering I’d expect.

Your responses on this thread would indicate - pansy

They are rationing ventilators in Milan - which is a hell of a lot more developed than Reno, because there are too many sick people. If the US doesn't want a similar result, we need to slow the spread. People are gonna get sick, and some will be hospitalized. If that happens over a longer stretch, we'll actually have enough beds.

Moron.
