Re: Coronavirus
Originally posted by Timothy A View PostState lines aren't closed. People are still freely travelling about the country. I get it for men's BB, but women's hockey could have done it with so few people involved. They could have moved the FF from Boston to some other less infected site like Madison for instance.
ADDED: I will say I wish they would have delayed everything for month and made the go/no go decision at that time. The way everything is moving so fast, who knows, in a month it might be safe to travel and play.Last edited by Offsides Guy; 03-12-2020, 03:57 PM.

Re: Coronavirus
If they were going to play in empty arenas why wouldn't that be enough? But then you would thick that by cancelling they are assuming someone on a team could have it and this will prevent spreading.
The players back at campus will still be going out to groceries, bars, parties and the like, they won't be in any isolation so where's containment there if a player had it?

Re: Coronavirus
Sorry for all the hockey players, basketball players, wrestlers, track and field athletes, softball players, baseball players, and on and on.... for having missed out on this moment and this opportunity.
(And then wondering going forward, what sort of eligibility exceptions might be made across the various sports at various points in their seasons.)Last edited by robertearle; 03-12-2020, 03:54 PM.

P.S. There is a big difference between traveling and congregating.

Next weekend? It's all going to be cancelled by this weekend.

Re: Coronavirus
The Governor of Ohio just has a press conference announcing no public gatherings of more than 100 (lets see him enforce that) and all public schools closed for 3 weeks.

You would think the women's tournament will be cancelled as well.

Originally posted by robertearle View PostWell, that kinda misses my point.
First "NCAA" isn't a "sport"; it is a number of sports, some of which are holding championships tomorrow, and next week, and ...
Second, of all those other organizations, none I am aware of has yet called off a national championship. Individual conferences have cancelled their conference championships, and professional sports have 'suspended', but not cancelled their season or championship, etc.
I'm keeping my eye on NCAA wrestling, next weekend - the same weekend as women's hockey national championship. If there is any sport being considered here where one's "personal space" becomes an issue. it's gotta be wrestling.
Next weekend? It's all going to be cancelled by this weekend.
