The NCAA tournament will be closed to fans

[Gunnerclone]

I just want to reiterate how big of a financial impact all of this will be.

Wow.

Definitely crazy. But this is nothing compared to if they have to shut down all blue collar and service industry employment for a time. No garbage man, no mail man, no gas at the pumps etc.

A person dies every 30 seconds from heart disease in this country. This is just a fear campaign.

Hey, Your ANF hat is getting too tight again, eat a snickers.

I really don’t think people are actually listening to the medical professionals. There is a difference between cautious prevention of spreading the disease and what we’ve seen today. We have to still live our lives. Take precautions let people get refunds for events but today has been an overreaction.

Not an overreaction when you consider how easy it spreads, and that plenty of people won’t take any extra precautions at all because they’re idiots, and that some people will purposely go into large groups knowing they have it because they’re **** bags.

Has no affect on me whatsoever. It's been a horrible college basketball season this year, and since ISU won't be in any post season at all..... who cares??

Heart disease isnt communicable. Obesity isnt communicable. And no, the flu isnt more dangerous to people than this, this virus is anywhere from 10-20x more deadly. Pull your head out of your ass.

I agree and what makes this corona virus so different is that if it...stays in your nostrils/head its like a cold but....If it goes down into your lungs, then to your heart or liver...It makes NO difference where you are located ...you are going to die...esp if your age 50 or over.....

I don't know what to think. I work at a health care facility in NE Iowa and out of the blue yesterday we went into lockdown for a couple of hours. It was not a drill. Two hours later they got "new information" and things went back to the status quo.It was very strange.

I'm actually shocked we aren't a #1 seed this year. This is SO our luck.

NBA is suspending the season....doubt NCAA Tourney gets played.

[cstrunk]

Ya, this thing is definitely getting canceled.

 

[jcisuclones]

Soo is this season going to go down in the record books like the seasons during WW2 and just say "no champion"?

 

[dualthreat]

I won't be surprised if they cancel the whole tournament

 

[Cyched]

Timed the bad season knowing the NCAA wouldn’t be a possibility regardless. Prohm playing 4D chess

 

[madguy30]

I won't be surprised if they cancel the whole tournament

It will take just one player or someone in a program testing positive.

 

[MNCYWX]

All sports-ball is going to take a little hiatus for a few months me things. Ice-puck too.

Yeah would assume that's the case.

I guess they could possibly try to postpone it for a few weeks and see where everything is at at that point.

Can we pull a UCF and just claim we are the 2020 national champions?

I hear the Hawks are already hanging the banner next to their Play In Game banner.

It’s going to look sweet next to all of their mythical state championship banners and Hy-Vee Big Four Classic Champions banners.

 

[HFCS]

It'll be like a home games are for Texas when they're ranked.
