Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 3474226, member: 199"] Thanks for posting that link - it is a very good, generally pretty 'low heat' informative discussion that stays out of the political/blame game. Floridaduck - yes it is a WCBB board and we are all concerned for what happens to the various tournaments scheduled. And a cancellation would be very unfortunate for all the athletes involved, just as the cancellation of classes by many schools is really tough for all students, and the economic and social impact is going to be very painful. But, the fact remains that when issues of health and life/death are on the table, the impact on the career of a single athlete becomes less important in the general scheme of things. Leagues at various levels are canceling tournaments already and the NCAA itself does not have a great reputation of selfless conduct - the men's/women's tournament generates 75% of it's annual income and I might question whether it was making decisions based on self interest or public safety. Just saw where 3 TSA screeners at San Jose airport tested positive for the virus, so limiting attendees at a sporting venue doesn't necessarily stop exposure for teams that are traveling. [/QUOTE]
