    This is massive and will have major ripple effects, financial and otherwise. Major conferences will be next. NCAA tourney will not be anything like we know it. March Madness taking on a whole new meaning this year.

      Harvard is also telling kids to move out by next week.

      https://www.washingtonpost.com/educa...ge%2Fstory-ans

      That I think is pulling the trigger way too early. A few dozen schools are doing remote learning for a week or two then re-assessing, especially in WA And CA where there are larger outbreaks. Think of the ripple effect that across the country if more follow suit - will local staff get paid when students aren't around? Local businesses will get clobbered. Do families get a refund on pre-paid meal plans they won't use?

      Personally I think the playoffs should go ahead but in empty stadiums. yes it's weird but it helps protect tens of thousands of fans and stadium staff.

        So who gets in from the Ivy League? Yale was the regular season champ, does that mean they are the automatic bid? I’d imagine Harvard and others take exception to that. The financial ramifications of something like this cannot be understated.

          if you don't play the conf tourney -then Yale is your rep

          considering the schools make up the committee it seems they would have had their say before they cancelled

              Not for basketball dummy, only Spring sports. They’ll play in the Big Dance in front of no fans.
