AAC Tournament Cancelled

[Leebo]

Don’t understand why they won’t leave the door open a crack and delay it then if things don’t work out in a few weeks just cancel it

There are hundreds of logistical issues with doing that.

Yeah, we don’t want health my kids with zero risk of serious health consequences getting the sniffles.

If you think this is being overblown you're really out of the loop, man.

The Utah Jazz played at MSG 10 days ago. Val Ackerman either has the biggest pair of balls in college athletics or she’s going to be out of a job.

You’re thick

Big East. You're on the clock....

 

[the Q]

This was the right call....but considering how much is shutting down and it’s an election year...public morale is going to be at all time low...

I went to quote his post before, conveniently was deleted already

How about, after they cancel the NCAA, networks can show every tournament game in 2014 as a throwback. This will both console us, remind us which NBA players came from that season, and scare the other fan bases for next year. Who has friends on the TV network executive level?

 

[CL82]

I think they were. Unless they canceled it last night but didn’t make a public announcement until now. Because if we were playing at 3 and another game started before us at 1, at least 4 teams were there.

Exactly, the highest risk event in these games are the travel and public lodgings. Once the teams are there cancelling does not make sense.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

How can they even select teams without auto bids?

Engineered by Emmert to keep UConn out.

Its a lot harder to do with college sports. They have a much smaller window. Its not like these tournaments can just be delayed a month or more.

I will apologize in advance if this is a stupid question, if the tournament took place would a team decline an invitation based on health concerns?

Why is the Big East playing?

Jim Dolan wants his money

ACC and Pac 12 just cancelled. Is the Big East really going to keep going?

 

[CL82]

So I'll just stick this in this thread.

This sucks. March madness is probably my favorite sports event of the year.
Blah, blah blah, bigger picture... blah blah.. pandemic...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I completely get it but I am still bummed, especially for Vital.

I doubt they will even start the later games. Feel like this first game started after around the same time the other games started. I perceive an inordinate amount of live action has been placed on the st. john's creighton game.

Everyone cancelled except for Big East.

huge bummer....but the right call

 

[ASweet3781]

If this were a college football conference title game or playoff game I have a hard time believing the decision would be as easy.

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

Any chance of postponement??

 

[bigknight3]

I'm still drinking at 3pm. I'll watch all of @tcf15 's stuff.

Daily chat dedicated to rewatching each game this season. Do we see glimpses of what's to come or what still needs to be worked on...

It does. I didn't want to jinx it but I legit thought Vital was gonna lead us to win this thing. I hope AG is back for next season.

Mass hysteria at its best... An F ing empty arena I guess wasn't enough... smh

 

[87Xfer]

So does this mean Bouk definitely comes back next year?

 

[Dove]

I hate that guy!

FIFY

 

[BlueMAB]

Why is the Big East playing?

Out of compassion for the other schools, they are giving them one last shot to win a title before UConn comes back and takes over.

It's a really kind gesture, if not misguided.

It can get much hysteric than not playing a basketball game.
