How can the NCAA cancel 6 different b-ball tourney's....but then not cancel the Big East?

It’s cancelled.

UK Prime Ministers advice after a 4 hour meeting:

Old people should not go on cruises. (seriously)
If you have coronavirus or coronavirus symptoms dont go into work... but if your family members do they should carry on going and no isolate.

Stopping events will do nothing. Closing schools will do nothing.

Jeez.

All basketball conferences have canceled their tournaments, except the Big East, who play at MSG....lolwut

Earlier Woj reported some NBA team owners wanted to stick with just playing with no fans. ONE team owner wanted to continue the league as is. The one team was the Knicks!

Juve/Lyon and Real Madrid/City Champions League matchups have been postponed.

What a bizarre response!

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

MLB suspending all operations.

 

[Appleyard]

What a bizarre response!

They basically care more about the economics of it that stopping the spread. Going off yesterday and the budget update in relation to it...

Pretty much only nation now in the Western world not closing schools, stopping large events etc.

Juve/Lyon and Real Madrid/City Champions League matchups have been postponed.

Seeing as how one team is in quarantine and the other probably should be, if they srent already, this was the easiest move to make in all of sports

Could have just said that they forfeited also or something.

Just got back from BJ's Wholesale Club....OH MY GOD.

Honestly, you may need to go stockpile Toilet Paper...that stuff is almost gone. They are limiting it to one per customer. Water is 2 Units per customer. That place was a damn zoo. On a thursday afternoon.

Everyone was wearing masks and gloves but me.

Hand Sanitizer is nowhere to be found. Tried Bj's, Home Depot and Staples. Staples is now selling TP though.

NY Post is reporting that NHL season has been indefinitely postponed. Bettman is on a conference call right now with the owners going over the details.

I can understand trying to balance the economy, health/safety of your citizens, and panic vs. proportional action. It's not a job I would want right now!

Forfeit seems harsh given the leagues are shut down as well, though. 2 of the top 3 leagues are suspended now I believe

 

[Cody Webster]

Big East has now cancelled their tournament. After the first half of Creighton/St. John

 

[FLYguy3911]

ECHL suspended their season. Nothing from the AHL yet. Writing is on the wall though.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

But why?

 

[Danko]

Everythings gonna be cancelled. Any Festival, Any Sporting Event or gathering of any sort.

 

[BiggE]

Also the WWE has cancelled Smackdown live in Detroit this Friday. Instead the show will go on without fans at the WWE performance center. Have to assume they will do the same with RAW Monday and that all house shows are being cancelled

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Shut up, Chris.

 

[Danko]

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

There it is.

 

[kudymen]

Most surprising news: HF is still up and running

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Wait, the league prefers to the break to be short? No way!

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I mostly hope everyone can work from home. Priorities and all of that.

Listen to qualified experts on when it's safe to go back, not the leagues.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

So this is Rudy Gobert's fault...
