I can't believe it's only been 48 hours since I first mentioned this. This has been a whirlwind.

This is the most overblown thing since Zika, or Ebola, or bird flu, or SERA, or whichever other world ending virus they come up with every couple years.
LOL what an absolute moron

2 teams in the area won their last two games of the season and would be Auto Bids for the tournament. The other team did not.

The Big East cancelled their tournament in the middle of the St Johns/Creighton game. They are the last of the major conferences to cancel.

The NBA situation sealed it in my opinion. There's too much pressure now.

I'm glad this is happening though. Highly publicized measures like this will make the general population take it more seriously.

I agree the NBA is what forced their hand, but how any game got started today I'll never understand.



I like that more people are understanding the situation. I was growing frustrated by the past 2 weeks, but I'm glad to see the states/big events are taking it seriously.

Duke and Kansas cancelled all athletics. That should be a wrap on the NCAA tourney.

What sucks is that sports are a perfect distraction from this mess.


But you have to protect these unpaid athletes and their familie


I just feel really bad for Tre and jarron
