It'll be interesting to see if this affects the NCAA's decision. I feel like it shouldn't, but it seems like this situation is changing every thirty minutes.

I'd hope they wouldn't cancel their tournaments unless one of the players is confirmed to have the disease. That'd be a shame for the kids wanting to compete.

I'm very curious as to how this will shake out for the NBA. Would it be similar to a 9/11 thing, with games scheduled in the immediate future pushed back to the end of the season instead?

Weird times.

There’s a very ancient book which predicted these “weird times”.....check it out.

That's how I feel as well. It's probably going to depend on when / if the spread is under control. If that happens within the next couple of months, I suspect the NBA will complete a shortened season. If not, this season will almost certainly be cancelled entirely.

Nebraska is being quarantined in the locker room overnight.

I don't see the SEC going through with this.

I thought the state of Nebraska has always been quarantined. I mean the only people there are those who have always been thee.

Got a feeling we hear something tonight or in the morning that the conference tournaments and the NCAA tournament are postponed/cancelled. Everything is moving quickly.

The country is probably going to be shut down by the end of the weekend

I think they'll wind up being cancelled

I expect a lot of people in the US to call in sick tomorrow.

I think the government is going to make the call anyways.

You’re going to see a lot more people test positive or show symptoms soon.

 

[zjcvols]

I bet sports will shut down tomorrow. All of them.

I wonder how MLB and MLS will deal with this?

My guess is we hear something of that sort tomorrow night. The situation is progressing so rapidly that it seems cancellation is in the very near future. Even if it isn't cancelled, I foresee a number of schools choosing not to participate which creates some additional challenges as far as filling in the bracket goes.

MLB will probably just cancel 30 games and have a partial season like 1995. They can afford it.

MLS is in much better shape than they used to be but idk how well suited they are to survive this.

The rational thing to do would be for a league to only shut down if a player, coach, or other staff member of one of the teams tests positive. Otherwise, just ban fans from attendance. There's a good chance that rational thinking won't prevail, though.

In a perfect world, yes but unfortunately that’s not what we are dealing with here.

what if the owners don’t have to pay the players for those games missed?

If that’s the case the owners don’t want to play games

Remind me how this will stop the virus?

it wont even come close

Sweet. Just got my tickets delivered today.

damn you lucky man

They need to. It really pisses me off when parents bring their sick kids in to work so that they don't have to use their PTO days. Selfish f**** would rather infect their co-workers than have fewer PTO days to use for vacations.

Starting to remind me of Y2K panic.

The media is the culprit in all this BS.

The media made Trump shut down all travel from Europe. Guess it also made Dr Fauci say this virus is 10X more lethal than the seasonal flu and that things will get worse in the US.

The problem with that approach is what the NBA is now dealing with. They have only had one player test positive but every one of the 30 NBA teams can be connected to this case over the last 5 days of games.
