Always thought this would be the case. If the ACC continues I think everyone will

Bingo, where in an age and a period of time where we have to keep reacting for the sake of reacting or else we could be criticized as being reckless if business as usual is continuedWhat I don’t get about canceling the ACC tourney ...is that everyone is already there.. so unless the thought is the players or a player already has it ... it doesn’t seem like it’s really that helpful to cancel
Jay Bilas on Packer & Durham right now, thinks the NCAA will suspend the rest of the season.
Swofford scheduled to come on approx 9:30.
Why?Surprised.
Playing to empty arenas was already the one and only appropriate action. The NBA postponing the season is an overreaction but they are not going to start losing revenue playing to empty arenas, that's fine, it's a pro sport. The NCAA following suit and postponing would purely be for the same reason. But they have an extremely convenient argument to use with health and safety.
But on the topic of health and safety, unless players, staff, and other essential employees needed to play a game are quarantining themselves in rooms, this is all for nothing. They can catch it at a restaurant, movie theater, any damn store just as easily. And once they unknowingly have it, spread it just as easily.
Players, staff, family members in attendance sign a waiver.
Play on.
Postponing things or even carrying on is not really in the cards. Universities up and down the East coast have sent their students home. You can't keep the players on a deserted campus indefinitely just so you can make some more money.
schools are shutting down, unless it's for spring break, they are going to distance learning, not going dark. Sports have gone on while schools have not been in session for ever.
If the tweet above is correct, the NCAA is suspending the games, not postponing them. That means it's done. The problem for the schools compared to the NBA is precisely that continuing to play reveals the lie that this is amateur athletics. We all know it isn't but still...
