NCAA Tournament: Should it happen?
-
NBA is completely different from NCAA.
NBA has agency and player’s union. We shouldn’t look at these two groups and expect everything to go the same.
And their leagues are structured totally different for venues, insurances, etc. There are several unions involved concerning any issue with the NBA.
-
There should be no more talk about postseason bans for Kansas. It should end here.
-
@approxinfinity I agree but the NCAA won’t - everyone got the same punishment and KU was the “only” cheater.
-
I think the NCAA will back the f down after this. Nobody is going to be calling for bloodletting. BC (Before Coronavirus) vs AD (After Da Coronavirus)
-
This sucks, wife doesn’t want to go with the kiddos and this stuff going around. It’s raining so we just sitting inside with no sports to watch. 2020 officially sucks
-
@drgnslayr It actually looks intimidating…We have the Truth, the Process, and Doke can become the Intimidator of college basketball. Not to barrow Dale Earnhardt Sr. from NASCAR. Could you imagine driving the lane only to meet Doke with a face mask?
-
@Kubie Sorry, all cancelled. Your life is cancelled. You are confined to house quarantine. I hope I’m sounding pathetic, because as serious as this is, I believe it’s reached some ridiculous proportions.
In fact, I think we should cancel this entire website…ok, maybe not. But exaggeration is always great when trying to make a ridiculous point. Plus, I’m going through bball withdrawals. I think this is a pandemic in and of itself. I think there are proven symptoms for college bball withdrawls. I’m experiencing many of them and more to come.
-
Maybe NCAA Classics? I can pretend I’m seeing it for the first time.
-
I dont want to waste my time commenting on the lack of leadership from the NCAA, especially at the top.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Plus he went and played bball with one of the local high schools here in the OKC area, Del City HS too. Apparently, he touched all the recording devices during a pre-game interview to make a point all well before his pre-game tip diagnosis. But, he was cleared a few days after his diagnosis.

I want to believe, but I’m leaning toward the belief that the NCAA will readdress this as soon as they get back to business as usual. The only thing that might change that is if this rocks the institution – say the power 5 conferences decide to confer with each other and hold their own tournament of 16 in May and do it for charity and compensate the players in some way. It sets a precedent of revenue generation and sharing and erodes the NCAA’s authority… and it starts to establish a new standard…

I thought it threw, this is worse than having Christmas canceled

Hey, can anyone spare a few squares of toilet paper?
-
I have a great idea (now hear me out!)… Let’s create shortages of things by buying up all of the the things that we think there might be shortages on… On a personal not, I have tp, was just making my point.
-
Does this end KU’s tournament streak? What about a team like UNC who wasn’t going to make the tournament anyway, does it end their streak? It would be nice if the NCAA just released the 68 teams that made the tournament for that reason.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Cannot miss a tournament that was not held. Our streak will just be measured in consecutive tournaments not years.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich ironically that means unc tournament steak goes on. They get a mulligan for this year. Perfect for them. The yin to our yang.

Chalk it up as another in a long line of strange connections between KU and UNC.

I am actually in a hotel in Charlotte I only wish I was confined to my house!!
Work trip, for some dang reason I’m considered an essential employee you’d think they’d know better by now. Airports are about dead, you could see from one end of ATL term C to the other it was so empty. Now they have shut down dine in at all restaurants but door dash and the rest are up and going for the most part.
I will admit to being more cautious then normal and practicing good hygiene is never a bad idea.
-
@jayballer73 They can take away our basketball, but they can’t take our BEER
-
@Kubie It has gotten increasingly worse within the last 48-72 hrs.
-
@Kubie b safe
-
We’ll be okay, guys. That’s what we do, right? We beat things…
-
Don’t read Lunardi’s BPI tourney simulation. It will make you puke in the 2nd round, or reading who was the 2nd favorite to win the whole thing. A hint, it rhymes with puke

@truehawk93 Anyone not understanding why shutting down as much contact as possible is necessary needs to read this latest update on Italy at worldometers.com. Flattening the curve is important because not doing so overwhelms a healthcare system, and this happens:
Italy: COVID-19 has infected 2,629 health workers, or 8.3% of the total (more than twice the percentage in China), as of yesterday March 17. In Bergamo (Lombardy region), 118 out of about 600 family doctors (20%) have been infected, and a 65-year-old doctor has died. Today, a 57-year-old doctor has died: he was the secretary of the Federation of General Practitioners of Lodi. A week ago, a 67-year-old family doctor, president of the Varese Medical Association, had died.
