Do you accept that? Does that feel like a short changing? Won’t other teams point to the asterisk and downplay our accomplishment?

I personally feel that would suck.

Makes empty arenas feel very preferable.

College football figured it out up to a few years ago. But....we are dumber now than we used to be, so I get it.

Did they? They fumbled (no pun intended) with that for a century and still haven't figured that shit out.

It's also a completely different scenario.

What MICHHAWK said, just no champion in 2020.

Well, it wouldn't be the first time we hung a banner for an administratively-awarded title.

NewtonHawk11 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 11, 2020 12:16 pm Yeah. Just don't think it'll be completely cancelled. I think the most extreme thing to happen is limited/no fans. By limited, I mean those sections that each school has allotted. The rest will be empty.

I'd have no issue with it.
They won't though - no way the NCAA gives us that.

I’m beginning to think complete cancel may not be a stretch.

Can the rest of the NCAA's operation make do without the revenue?

A mass of classes and dorms are A LOT different than a team of 15 guys, 10 coaches/staff and essential arena personnel.

I get why colleges are sending kids home. There's a mass of humanity everywhere at universities, a basketball team in multiple controlled environments is different.

I agree it's different but how do you control the "environments" in terms of holding NCAA Tournament games? You are talking travel exposure, lodging exposure, food exposure, venue exposure, and is every single player and coach going to be tested before and during the tournament on a daily basis? What about those they come in contact with? ZERO way to completely "control" all the environments they will/would be exposed to.
