Why couldn't they just postpone the tourney and revisit it in mid-April - perhaps playing in May?
I suppose it's because numerous schools have gone online temporarily or for the semester, with kids being asked to head home. Can't have the hoops teams sticking around for a potential tourney...
Yup way to many schools sending kids home. You going to suspend practice up until 1 or 2 weeks before? What about seniors and 1 n dones? Do they get to be able to play after declaring to go pro and/or hiring agents?Why couldn't they just postpone the tourney and revisit it in mid-April - perhaps playing in May?

the 16 team thing would be not march madness as only the top 16 teams would make it better off cancelling. if they wanted to do a mini tournament the only thing to do would be only autobids for tournament(32 team)
not worth it for just 16 teamsIt might not have even been the top 16 teams. If a team declined to participate, they would invite #17 or #18 and go down the list until they filled out the bracket.
What are the guys with nba futures going to do? Not hire agents and go through the draft process with the slim possibility of playing in the tournament?
Why can’t they do this in 2 months?
16 teams is not march madness but it is better than nothing. I would have certainly watched if the logistics could have worked
The NCAA could always just award the title to blue blood Kansas or Kentucky. You know they want to. Maybe flip a coin. I'm surprised they didn't execute something really dumb. Any added stress just exhibits how poorly the NCAA is run.
