Probability UCONN vs Butler is Cancelled

[August_West]

For those wondering why you can't push back the tournament, think about where the revenue comes from. CBS/Turner deal is the big $$. If you try to push the tourney back to April and may you now interfere with other sporting events that they carry such as the Masters on CBS, MLB on turner channels, etc.

The tournament pretty much is what it is. Same with the entire season. I'm personally grateful for every game I get to watch and I understand the selection committee is going to have to make some difficult and sometimes unfair decisions. I'll enjoy what I can get out of this year and hope COVID is only a memory by next year.

But theyve already chaged the start day (starting on Friday instead of Thursday, playing on Monday first weekend, sweet 16's in their own "slots" etc...etc... ......and the other ways and times games are played in this "theoretical" tournament. So if there is flexibility on that, wouldnt it extend?

Just wait until top seeds are covid paused.

They are not and should not be a priority for vaccination. That us lunacy

You understand there is no shortage and tens of thousands of doses are going bad, and this is a group that is more transactional and likely carriers more than others. This isn’t rocket science.

I'm glad you're not in charge

Yes, let’s not leverage hyper efficient delivery systems and waste dosages that go unused.

the fact that there is actually vaccinations going bad doesnt mean "hey lets give them to NCAA athletes"



Holy LOLZ.

Repeat -
If they don't change the current protocols, then the odds are very strong that the season is going to get s--tcanned.

What needs to change? Teams get more strict, or enforcement ease?

Unbelievable. I have family and friends that are over age 65 with other health issues that haven't even gotten vaccinated yet. I have family members that are in education, police and fire that haven't been vaccinated yet and you want a bunch of 18-22 year olds to get vaccines so thay can play basketball for your entertainment?

Well, looks like indoor dining is back. Also, the cdc has come out and said that the current cycle for the PCR tests have been causing false positives, which is something other doctors and scientists have said for months but were mocked and censored

Anyway, the person who tested positive should sit out until they have several negative tests in a row. The rest of the team should be tested everyday and if they’re negative then it should be fine. Isn’t that how the NFL made the regular season work?

I still don’t understand why the Big East hasn't made three sites the location for the regular season games. Unless the schools are having fans, have the schools play a round robin at these locations to get the games in and then rotat teams

I’m only saying that so they can get the games in quickly. These kids play tournaments with 3+ games in a weekend before college
