    Unfortunate: "Only staff, limited family at NCAA Tourney games."

    Besides the terrible human toll, the economic consequences are going to be astronomical.

    Sports, concerts, events, travel, conventions... This will be way worse than 9/11 unless something happens to quickly reverse this situation.

    They had no choice. March Madness brings people from all over the country to the other side of the country, to all corners of the country, it’s highly unique in that respect. All indoors, on and on. They had no choice. It’s unfortunate and Pete’s point on the economic impact - so true. Unbelievable, really.

    You wonder if the NBA may have to go this route.

    Then you have the summer olympics... It goes on and on.

    I know this won’t happen in most countries but China has pretty much put the brakes on COVID by shutting down all public interaction. Which is really more important, NBA, NCAA, XFL, NHL, music concerts, etc. or containing COVID. And I’m saying this as a skeptic as to the severity of the problem. If shutting down a bunch of sports and entertainment events will slow the spread then so be it. Welcome to 2020 earth.

    Mexico probably wants to build a wall now to keep infected Americans out.

    Very unlikely that the NCAA even allows the games to be played at this point.

    There is absolutely no way this tournament gets played after what happened in the NBA tonight.

    Yep, almost no NCAA players have been tested and are in such close physical contact. I can't imagine how they could play the tourney. Can you imagine if they let a player with COVID-19 play and he spreads it to another team?

    Not to mention they are all students as well and run the risk of infecting an entire campus.

    Hey, my university won't cancel a graduate fair this Saturday where people walk booth to booth meeting with people from different programs. They expect near a thousand people. I do not understand why people think this risk is okay.

    Things are ramping up very quickly now.

    There are cancellations coming by the minute.

    I bet by the weekend most public gatherings will be suspended.

    University of Kansas and Duke just suspended ALL athletic participation. So two banner schools will be skipping March Madness. It's done. The NCAA Tourny won't be happening right now, and likely this year.

    and the Duke AD is on the selection committee... so he probably already knows the NCAA decision.

    OU might have just been gifted it’s best opportunity to win the tournament in years. Stay in and win!

    kidding of course...kind of.

    This whole thing is just a good life lesson for everyone.

    You can't have sex with a bat and expect there to be zero consequences.

    So that's why Batman's always in such a foul mood.

    Just announced: “March Madness” is canceled.

    Edit - Well, at least basketball’s version of March Madness is canceled. For the rest of the country, March Madness is only beginning.

    Note this is a complete cancellation, not a postponement.

    i'm curious if this means they will give Kansas the right to declare themselves champions since they finished number 1 in polls

    I would be surprised. Polls never mattered in bb the way they did and do in D1 fb

    OSU will claim it. (sorry, couldn't resist)

    I can see Kansas claiming it, but, of course, no one outside of Kansas will recognize it.

    Women's College World Series has been cancelled, as well.
