This decision is based on the evolving COVID-19 public health threat, our ability to ensure the events do not contribute to spread of the pandemic, and the impracticality of hosting such events at any time during this academic year given ongoing decisions by other entities.

Well, at least I won’t be filling out (another annual) losing bracket. But this has got to be billions in lost revenue. All those arenas all those paying fans all those concession employees parking travel hotels etc etc. Massive. Thanks f***ing China!

My dad is going to be so pissed off. He was looking so forward to seeing if Gonzaga could all the way and win the whole thing.

The shoe finally dropped. No March Madness. I beg to differ. This entire "shut down the world because of Corona beer and its virus" IS March Madness.

All the kids and others out of jobs will be sitting around without anything to do and will be causing all kinds of trouble.
