Or maybe they read my blog about being hypocritical.  Or maybe it is all just a coincidence.

First, the Ivy League has now announced they have cancelled all spring sports and is allowing teams playing currently to choose to forfeit the rest of their games (which the Cornell men’s hockey team decided to do for the ECAC game that I mentioned).  Have to give them a little more credit for at least being consistent – if you are going to cancel basketball, you might as well cancel everything else.  You could say they are being paranoid – but they are least being consistent.

Then, the NCAA announced that all men’s and women’s tournament games will be played with no fans – just limited family members and other essential individuals.  Looks like many of the conference tournaments are following suit (as I watch the Northwestern vs. Minnesota game, they just announced that the remainder of the Big 10 tournament will be without fans).

Mark Emmert said that he is going to look into moving the Final Four from Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium to a smaller arena.  Part of me hopes they don’t do this – if we are going to do this, then lets do it right.  No trying to cover up the empty arena by playing the game in a small arena.   Lets own it – we should have this massive football stadium that seats 71,000 people for the Atlanta Falcons’ home games with a small basketball court in the middle of it and the rest of it being completely empty.

I am sure I will end up blogging about this more – this story isn’t going away.  But I need to get my mind on better things than viruses killing all of us off.  Lets narrow down the bubble – well, after eating dinner……
