Today, NCAA President Mark Emmert and the Board of Governors canceled the Division I men’s and women’s 2020 basketball tournaments, as well as all remaining winter and spring NCAA championships. This decision is based on the evolving COVID-19 public health threat, our ability to ensure the events do not contribute to spread of the pandemic, and the impracticality of hosting such events at any time during this academic year given ongoing decisions by other entities.

I don't understand this. If there's no fans then what the frick is the risk? Probably, less or the same as being at home.

Over the next week or two, I would've postponed..then see what happened.
Then cancel completely after that if needed

It fricking is. The libtard media is sitting in a corner jacking off at all of this unneeded panic that they've created.

They want no part in spreading the virus in any possible way.
Premature? Maybe but it's better to be proactive than to think "we should've done this."

Is that why Trump has banned travel to Europe and China? Did he succumb to the panic???

A few things:
1) Schools are shifting to a remote semester for Spring.
2) Student athletes can’t practice remotely. Schools would have to make exceptions to keep them on campus. That’s a whole other can of worms.
3) Even if it’s relatively safe, if even one student athlete gets it and then spreads it in a host city? The NCAA would be fricked so hard they would be unrecognizable.

Players would still have had to travel - commercial flights and such. This sucks.

Putting student athletes at potential risk of flying cross country, being in airports, all thing the could expose them to the virus needlessly. Let a few athletes get sick or maybe even worse because we wanted to watch a game and suits would bankrupt all of college sports.

There is risk involved in getting on a plane and driving across town. What is the risk/reward trade off here? Do we ban people from driving cars since 30K die in auto accidents every year? 20 year old athletes are not high risk people.
