CBI just cancelled their tournament.

[SpeedyVOL]

Not like we were gonna participate anyway but the NIT could be next.

Then the NCAA could wind up calling off the Men's and Women's Basketball Tournaments.

 

[VolBricks]

I say the NCAA should run the tournament with no spectators in the stands. Just let everyone watch it on TV. Or they can just cancel it and award the VOLS Men and Women both the Natty's.

I think this is precisely what will happen. Not saying it's warranted, but as the panic grows, so will the pressure to cancel the tourney.

 

[cncchris33]

The panic is absolutely unwarranted, is what is so frustrating.

It's better to err on the side of caution so to speak.

Unless you are an athlete who has trained for this moment all your life and then it is taken away from you.

 

[JCP201]

Can they do this without an audience?

 

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

Cancel it and crown the National champion to the team with the best record and conference record

If we did that we would cancel every game during flu season...10k in the US die from flu every year..there are 10 serious cases of corinavirus in the country right now....in fact 5k of the 5.8k serious cases are in Italy or China

Better to be safe than sorry and it’s just a game

This whole thing makes you wander whether the O&W game will be called off with the fear and panic going around.

I'm gonna live my life...just got back from a ski weekend and around thousands in Gatlinburg....heading out 1st of April for a 2k mile Route 66 trip..if you sit around waiting for death..it will eventually find you

 

[calban]

More people will die from eating fast food in this country this year than any virus.

 

[Ttucke11]

All these cancellations are absurd. The reaction to this is going to be infinitely worse than the actual virus.

Panic is unwarranted, but planning and preparation is always good.

 

[whodeycin85]

Bet the tournaments will get sued

 

[Dudleys87]

The amount of $$$ lost without an audience is not something the AA is about to let get away.

 

[UT_Dutchman]

More people will die from eating fast food in this country this year than any virus.

Yes and I believe the only deaths in this country are from citizens over the age of 68 with weak immune systems.

 

[YankeeVol]

No one actually cares about the CBI

 

[VolnJC]

I think all but a couple were from one nursing home outbreak in Washington state.

Correct. People can take the proper precautions without becoming hysterical.

 

[YankeeVol]

That ship has sailed

 

[Zues1]

Yeah this would be a good year for the CBI to slink off into yesteryear

 

[Pepe]

If there were a total of 10000 deaths due to Corona virus, the national media would portray it as an unprecedented disaster, even though every year there are 30,000 deaths due to flu.
