There are about a million steps this country needs to desperately take to combat Coronavirus. Canceling college lacrosse seasons completely without first banning spectators is at about 1,000,007 on that list.
I respect the intelligence of the Ivy League presidents, however, unless they know a load more than has been announced, it appears they jumped the gun.I really hope other conferences let cooler heads prevail, canceling entire seasons is insane. Go without fans or move the season back but its absurd to just cancel an entire season like this at the D1 level.
The lacrosse season has become meaningless — if there still is a season.
I dont have college-aged children, but even elementary and secondary schools in impacted areas are strongly considering whether distance learning can be effectively implemented. Maybe it's more a function of these schools truly shutting down, and continuing with athletics is just an impossibilty once that occurs?
NCAA should deny those waiver requests.
For regular schools, I think it's prudent to shut them down for maybe even for a month as a firebreak to spread, distance learn as much as possible, and extend the school year
Seems logical until you consider summer jobs, commitments, etc.
This is an absolute mess.
There are obviously going to be ripple effects but it's obvious to me based on my personal experience and observation that schools are germ factories and an effective way of mitigating against spread are closing schools and maximizing telecommuting.
Deal with the downstream impacts downstream.
Can Sowers transfer to Syracuse and play immediately?

NESCAC was the first to cancel spring sports, and they did so yesterday. These two conferences are generally thought to value the "Student athlete" more than any other.
You feeling good about a national championship this year if the tournament is played without Cornell, Princeton, Yale or Penn?
I wouldn’t
