“they should be able to play in empty arenas”
—
I believe the players are concerned about getting the virus - some already have. Can’t force them to play and I don’t think it would go over well if you could.
You want college kids playing basketball to risk their lives for your amusement?
They could all play with face masks....but maintain 6ft sporting distance. Could be a brand new game.
Or maybe we can wrap them all in bubbles.
Ain’t gonna happen.
Way too many people linking to these idiotic blogs
I posted a comment about this on another thread a few days ago..... Have 20 people per team.... Players plus coach and a few other assistants and trainers..... Put them all in one city that has a few good state-of-the-art courts.... We’re talking a total of Maybe 1400 to 1500 people Including referees, the people who work the scorer’s table, cameraman announcers, A few photographers.... That’s it..... More people ride a New York City Subway within a few hours.... Finish the whole tournament with an 8 or 9 days
Too much fear of trip and slip lawyers.
At least play the Masters. All the golfers could stay six feet away from each other or whatever the safe distance is determined to be. The caddies could put on special gloves before removing the ball from a hole.
This is a dream for the ruling class. They’ve proven the people are easily manipulated, and quite compliant. Bankrupting a significant portion of society, increasing those dependent on government, what more could a politician ask for?
The winner? Socialists.
college bb tournaments are the best...notice they were the first thing to go...deliberate...
After hearing that NBA players had it, the college players were part of the driving force to cancel.
...and then the teams can fight to the death at the end so they don’t spread the contamination from the arena. Cool!
You don’t want them laying all over each other, sweating and coughing.
Basketball gets nasty under the basket. Not exactly a hygienic sport.
Yeah there’s a bad idea. Remember it’s not just the game, it’s the practice and coaching. One sick player turns into a sick team, then they take it home, then grampa dies. Leave it alone folks.
I understand cancelling baseball, which stilll makes most money at the gate. But bring back NCAA!!!!
Oh, I just love sports addicts! Doesn’t make any difference at all that we’re facing what the Chinese, Italians, Iranians, Germans at al have - just have to have their sports!
Tell you what: find a ball, go to a park nearby and play your heart out.
But this way Virginia is still the reigning National Champion. (and in Lacrosse too!)
ML/NJ
I agree.
GO TERPS!
