Nothing from SU yet...

Oh please no

 

[CuseLegacy]

Waiting NCAA approval. What are they going to say...No it's just a blizzard.

 

[upperdeck]

why does the NCAA have say over this event?

 

[texascpa]

Based on our history, we'll probably hear from the NCAA in July.

 

[NineOneSeven]

The obvious decision

why does the NCAA have say over this event?

The NCAA owns and operates the NIT. They do the configuration of the arena and everything. Random anecdote about that... When I was in school they moved student radio (WAER) to a lift behind the bleachers so they could sell four more courtside seats. Those seats sat empty for almost every non-conference game, but that didn't matter - they were paid for. For the NIT, WAER was courtside because the NCAA was in charge and treated student radio better than the athletic department of "Sportscaster U."

Wow. NCAA just released a statement. If the game is postponed, boeheim loses a win.

 

[Trueblue25]

Isn't it just going to be the same tomorrow

 

[Chip]

Will the NCAA be able to take enough time out of cracking down on players participating in their sponsored bracket pool to make this decision before 7?

 

[Orangello]

NCAA needs to launch a three year investigation into whether or not there was really a snow storm in Syracuse or if this was just an excuse for a walk on to avoid a deadline for turning in a paper. Stay tuned.

Which is why there are no beer sales.

If you drive in Madison County after 6:00 you will be arrested tonight. I'm thinking the dome may honor those refund requests. Lol

 

[Dcuse]

I've gone up to games in weather MUCH worse than this so far. 28,000 came with me.

 

[Trueblue25]

would definitely try to sneak in a bottle of jameson if it didn't warrant a lifetime ban

 

[OrangeXtreme]

No confirmation from SU yet

 

[JOC44]

The NIT sued the NCAA, alleging antitrust violations. The NCAA got rid of that lawsuit by buying the NIT and dismissing the suit.

 

[upperdeck]

seems pretty easy to move it since round 2 is so spread out. not the tight deadlines like the NCAA tourney

 

[Trueblue25]

What's the point of it being moved to 7 pm tomorrow? It's still going to be snowing just as it is now

 

[JOC44]

We'd have to forfeit every game you ever attended.

 

[jncuse]

In other news, my totally oblivious co-worker still thinks she will drive from Ottawa to Syracuse (3 hour drive in normal conditions) tonight for her 10:00 flight.

LOL, cmon.

I remember the WVU game in 2002 had absolutely horrid weather and there was a small crowd...and weather was nowhere near this bad.

Was wondering about that myself.
