If a team has any people in their travel party test positive, they can't play. That would be the only way to ensure no transmission through holding the event, and even then it might not be enough.

      Remember that it isn't just the players at risk - it's everyone that an infected individual comes in contact with. Many people have elderly relatives. Some of the faculty members at the schools are as old or older than I am and have potential complicating issues. It is a shame, but I'd rather be overly cautious than just play on.
      I can just imagine the cheating going on over that arrangement...

        Can anyone share the link that specifically states that the NCAA D-III men’s ice hockey tournament has been canceled? I only see statement regarding the NCAA men’s D-I tournament. The reason I ask is because Utica College has nothing on their athletics pages that states their NCAA game has been canceled. Perhaps I’m missing it. Thanks guys!

          Specifically mentions D1 basketball, but then says as well as remaining winter and spring championships. If they are cancelling their money maker they will obviously cancel the ones that make them nothing

            You need to get past the denial phase of your grief.

              Well, I was just trying to find the story that stated that the D-III men's tournament was cancelled because everything was "D-I" and it really didn't specify the D-III tournament that everyone was so quick to say was cancelled when the stories on the NCAA website had "D-I tournaments canceled" plastered everywhere as a headline because they as usual forget that there is a D-III tournament as well. The articles didn't seem specific enough. Additionally, on the Utica College athletics page even at the bottom in fine print still speaks about hosting the game as planned but without fans. Literally right now at the time of this posting if you look and scroll to the bottom of the Utica College athletics page, it says the game will be played without fans and nothing about it completely being canceled so I was confused.

              This is completely ridiculous that the games will not be played at all. I'm a firm believer that the games should be played at the very least without fans. To cancel completely is yet another one of the countless examples out there right now of gross over-panic and highly exaggerated people taking precautions for something that will not effect most and is NOT deadly for those that are not very young, with pre-existing medical conditions or elderly. If you fit a category that it would effect you more than others, then stay home? It's like the domino effect. One person does it and its like "Monkey see, monkey do...lets play sheep and just do what everyone else does."

                The communications say winter and spring NCAA tournaments cancelled. Not sure how much clearer it can get.

                Geneseo's athletics and hockey twitter accounts have confirmed the tournament is cancelled.
                https://***********/GeneseoHockey

                Regarding the virus: the issue isn't that its deadly for most people, it's that it's extremely dangerous for certain at risk groups AND extremely contagious. A significant percentage of people who contract it will require hospitalization. Just take a look at what is happening in Italy to see what can happen if enough people contract it at once. Their healthcare system does not have enough capacity to deal with the number of people who need care. They are basically practicing war time triage over there. I am as upset as anybody that this is happening but I understand why it has to happen.

                  The NCAA release, if you actually read it, was very clear. It left no doubt what it included, which was everything.

                    You do realize 200 people a day are dying in Italy and they have run out of ventilators to even be able to treat people. Which means you basically die in some hospital hallway.

                    You do realize that satellite images seem to show Iran digging trenches for mass burials.

                    But yeah, we're just overreacting...

                              Are you kidding me? Our medical infrastructure is crap.

                              We can't even test people, while South Korea is testing people at a rate of 10,000 (maybe 20,000) people a day.

                              Our hospitals flat out don't have the capacity to handle a huge influx of critical need patients. We don't have the ICU beds nor the ventilators in those numbers. Our medical infrastructure runs at a capacity of 95-97% which from a just-in-time business perspective is fantastic. But, from a critical long term medical surge, it's terrible.

                              And don't even get me started how this is all going to get paid for and how many people won't get tested or treated for fear of how much it's going to cost them.

                              My brother is working with the task force in the State of Washington. They are begging the federal government for supplies, and they are not getting enough. This is a procedural disaster in the making. Talk to any medical person working in a hospital. They all say we are not equipped to handle this.
