If the NCAA tournament doesn’t happen...
- Thread starter ForbinsAscynt
- Start date
I guess I am more OK with them just cancelling altogether or postponing than playing in empty stadiums. That is not how one of the biggest sporting events of the year is meant to played. I think a delay or postponement followed by playing it the right way at a later date is the right play here.
I'm still in doubt, the only way the NCAA would cancel the tourney is if ISU was 34-0, #1 seed projected to win the entire thing.
Dealing with a contagious health issue with no known vaccine for it, such as this, is it better to under react to the possibilities that are posed or to overreact, just in case?
Just noticed Creighton and Saint John's is underway. Big East don't give no f's about no fake news.
Unrelated to the virus, but is it just me, or does anyone else think Creighton is a really odd fit in the Big EAST? Almost as bad as Rutgers in the Big 10

I have some very important people in my life that are high risk due to preexisting conditions that I'd just assume not get infected so I don't think some actually meaningless sporting events being cut out is a problem whatsoever if it's a step towards not having this thing go nuts.
Exactly. It sucks to miss out on March Madness and the NBA and vacation and all that fun stuff, but it would suck even worse to lose a loved one who falls in the high risk category.
I think that we'd all like for life to go on as usual, but the fact is it's a highly contagious virus with no known vaccine and we just don't know with any certainty how widespread it is yet. It won't slow down without some aggressive containment measures in place.
Cancelling that PTO now. Might as well save it for better weather.
It feels like that's the deadline here, right? They have to make a decision either way before they start sending teams all over the country.
Maybe have a 'predictions/who they thought would have won it all' segment and they all pick the hoks.
I hope not - I don't want Iowa to get a bid and spend the next 20 years saying how they would have gone through each of the teams in their bracket and been champs.
That’s the thing that they have been saying. Everyone should take precautions. Certain people should take more precautions. It should be case by case basis at this point. Wholesale societal stops are not needed at this point.
