NCAA announces Tournament will be held without fans

I’m conflicted on this because part of the fun of the NCAA basketball post season is the involvement of all of the fan bases. But when I was in St. Louis for Arch Madness and I high fived some fans the thought of the virus quickly ran through my head so I went right to the bathroom to wash my hands. So I certainly understand the fear and the reasons why this has happened. Feel bad for the kids who won’t get to perform in front of the fans. But it won’t make the championship any less special.
 
I disagree.. I think it makes the championship way less special. Wether it needs to be done or not, this cheapens the experience exponentially
 
I still think this is much better than cancelling. At least the players get to compete although it is so much different without fans. They do need to move the final four from the big football arena to a smaller facility.
 
Let's just shut down the entire country. Nobody go anywhere, no work, no school, don't leave your house. Just eat the bark off the trees in your yard. Drink the rainwater that collects in your driveway. Nobody overreact or anything. Over 56,000 people die from the flu in the US every year (between 300,000-600,000 globally). We will go into a recession if this panic continues.

Watch... they will cancel everything. The airlines will stop all flights and all public transportation will cease. :x At least I got my Bradley Champions T-shirt!

Exactly!!! This widespread panic is insane! Imagine if this happened each flu season.
 
I’m really bummed out about this but I’m also glad they didn’t put right cancel the tournament.

Frankly i think it's way way over blown. If the elderly or frail want to self quarantine that’s fine, but this virus doesn’t appear to be doing any real damage to healthy people. I don’t get it.
 
Stupid. Propagating fear out of nothing. Does anyone know anyone that knows anyone that has contracted the coronavirus?

Thanks for ruining our trip to the dance, NCAA. Just one more reason to hate you.

So you’re saying all of the work these kids and coaches have put into their season and will put in to win an NCAA Championship would basically be meaningless. They are playing for a championship. That means something for these kids and coaches regardless if it’s in front of 100,000 people or just in front of families and essential personnel. Now we can certainly agree to disagree on this as well as whether or not these or any championships should even be taking place. The media has so over blown and over hyped this that you’d think we’re in the dark ages of medicine.
 
Well, this will be memorable in a different way. We need to come up with the best watching party ideas ever.
