The NCAA has canceled the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments and March Madness. 15.4K 3:16 PM - Mar 12, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy
9,462 people are talking about this............
April May or June madness?
Apparently none at all...................
I guess there’s always eSports.
Well I picked Coronavirus to win it all in my bracket, so at least that’s some good news.
You should have picked stupidity.
I wonder what insurance reimbursement anyone gets, for the cancellation of the tournament.
The fine print of the TV contracts, contracts for use of arenas, etc. Will keep lawyers busy , as well as the fine print of insurance policies for every business entity involved iwth March madness.
I’ve never had a bracket busted.................
For some of the college seniors, March Madness is their last hurrah as most won’t have a pro career.
You should have picked stupidity.
Yet when this “pandemic” naturally blows over in a few weeks the Wu Flu pumpers will claim credit for stopping it. They have no shame.
Too bad. Kind of a sports wasteland right now.
NHL suspending play immediately due to virus

I expect eSports interest to skyrocket.
We'll always have FR
The jocks and sports addicts will be going mad with pretty much all sports going dark! Entertainment industry is going to take a hit too.
NBA, Hockey, MLB (and no doubt the minor league affiliates) all stopped cold. Amazing. Unprecedented.
Good time for Netflix, Hulu, etc. Everybody is now going to be sitting at home watching movies.
That’s not right!! What about the senior players who have worked hard to play their last MM? What’s next graduations being cancelled too?!! This is getting out of hand!! Why don’t we just exterminate the 320+million Americans and be done with it!! The greenies would be rejoicing!!
FWIW you can stream re-runs of The Apprentice for free on Tubi. The only have four minutes of commercials per hour show.
Good time for Netflix, Hulu, etc. Everybody is now going to be sitting at home watching movies.
Yep. Looks like the Wu Flu hobbyists have managed to shut down the country. I hope they are proud. They should have stuck to model trains or politics and spared us the drama.
