Following that message from the league commissioner, Arkansas AD Hunter Yurachek expressed similar sentiments during a Friday appearance on Arkansas radio show “Hit That Line” when asked about the cancelation of the college baseball and basketball seasons.
“Guys, I’m the athletic director at the University of Arkansas and I know as much about that decision as you guys know. I have absolutely no idea why that decision was made, in my opinion, in haste,” Yurachek said on the show. “Why it was communicated the way it was through a press release. I found out when my plane landed from Nashville yesterday afternoon.
“I didn’t have an opportunity to talk to anybody of our spring sport coaches. I did not have an opportunity to make that announcement to any of our spring sports student-athletes. I’m really disappointed, not necessarily in the decision, but how that decision for spring sports that occurred in May and June, how that information was disseminated from the NCAA.
“Again, I’m an AD a Power 5 institution and I would think that I would have found that information out in a timely fashion to be able to communicate with our coaches and our student-athletes, but I didn’t. And I don’t even know that Commissioner Sankey at this point in time knows exactly why that decision was made. Very disappointed in the leadership of the NCAA. I get men’s, women’s basketball, indoor track and field, swimming, gymnastics, those were the imminent championships and had to be dealt with. Not sure why the decision was made in such haste for spring sports and why it was communicated the way it was.”

Everyone including leadership is a sheep to the media and social media, it’s a disgrace and commercial media should be held accountable even though they won’t.

It doesn't bother me.
I feel like he wouldn't be complaining had the communication been better.

Pretty much the whole point

When this is the hand I'm dealt, my assumption is the whole point needs to be explained.

Yuracheck is a great leader.
NCAA cowered to pussified ultra liberal sports media.

I just got a message from the Alabama High School Athletic Association saying no crowds over 500 people.
They are far from "pussified ultra liberal."

Don't be surprised if you see some Power 5 ADs start to push to leave the NCAA.

I would be ok if there was a boycott to the 2020 football season.
This shite simply would not have happened during football season.
I will take my downvotes now.

Your logic and common sense have no power here.

that sounds a bit like someone on here claiming to hold a double doctorate and sitting on the board of several major corporations.

They are just falling in line because of what happened with all the leagues.

His feelings are hurt b/c he wasn't consulted in a decision he had zero sway over. Boo hoo.

It has nothing to do with being "consulted" its about the lines of communication being terrible. The SEC Commissioner had a very similar compliant.
There is an issue when one or multiple commissioners can't give you an answer as to why something that far away was canceled and not just postponed.
