Vegas will be losing a lot of money 14 states that have legalized gambling including PA, NJ and DE will lose a boatload of $ along with bars and restaurants.

Quick quiz: Only two (2) programs lost a game in the 2019-2020 Atlantic 10 Tournament. One was George Washington. Can you name the other?

That means the Explos have met my goal of a .500 season. Strange way to get there

Big East is still going on...watching right now on FS1. Probably because the Catholic schools all prayed beforehand.

All conferences have cancelled their tournaments. No March Madness this year.

I can imagine the commissioner running out on the court mid-play, grabbing the ball and telling them all "get back on the bus guys". Crazy.

Crazy. The NBC Sports broadcasters were saying they told UMass and VCU before the game that theirs might be cancelled...or might be cancelled mid game...or theirs might be the only ones played today...that they didn't have answers yet.

I was looking forward to the Coronavirus Conference Tournament, also. Phlegm is my favorite team!

Maybe they can have May Madness!!! Mark Few was interviewed today and said the coaches were unanimous in wanting to take a pause and reassess in a few weeks to see if they could still pull it off in late April or May, so he was surprised when the NCAA made the decision just to cancel.

That would be great, but I'm assuming the biggest hurdle to this was the arenas scheduled to host. With NHL/NBA pausing, and then possibly resuming at the same time, keep the same arenas (ticket sale/hotels etc) would be a logistical nightmare.

I think this is more indicative of how long they think it all lasts than any logistical complications. If they thought they could run it 6 weeks from now in every open arena between DC and NYC, on TV, they’d do it.

I also am not sure it would be practical. How do you re-start the post season if the schools have been shut down and they have not been able to practice for weeks?
