per the SECR the NCAA will be making an announcement about the NCAAT and that total cancellation is on the table

no fans allowed would be my guess, but that's not worth much

Do the host cities/venues have to through a bidding process to get the games? I'm assuming so. I wonder if the NCAA will refund them

I know it starts tonight so maybe late in the game here, but SECT has to follow suit now, no?

I’ve been told that the NCAA still hasn’t determined whether media will be allowed at the NCAA Tournament.

The early games aren't highly attended normally, so they'll probably let tonight be attended. But I'd expect the weekend games to have no attendance.

Reporters/media travel so much that'd you'd think they'd be first on the least of those not allowed

Used to be a beat writer for Bham News... the university hired him a few years ago to basically be an AU-employed dear writer.

I wouldn't be surprised given that 1) Corona virus has reportedly been detected in the building (AT&T Building) a few blocks from the arena and 2) a hand full of people in Davidson County have the virus.

Oh, you thought journalists felt overly entitled before now. Wait till they let them in.

They were throwing fits when they couldn't go in the locker room. I'm sure some are about to go Chernobyl now

ETA: I vote for Pat Forde to be quarantined for at least the next 2 months. Small room, bars on 1 side so he doesn't get claustrophobic. No human contact, no internet so he can't spread his virus. It's for his safety

Better if they sent him to cover Italian League basketball.
