Not saying there's any alterior motive because I obviously have no idea, but it is at least interesting that the coach of a team with nothing to gain from the tournament is the most willing to shut it down.

WAY above even his pay grade (perhaps not his salary)

Sounds like he is saying not just the B1G but the NCAA too, so he does have something to lose.

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Easy for him to say. They make the tournament every year. Very different situation for him and his team than a lot of other teams.

 

[soundcrib]

Shut up Tom.

If they play the games with no fans I don’t see why the cannot have the games.

You pretty much eliminate the possibility of the virus spreading

Bowling Green played an entire season and ended a half century of no tourny. Yep. Take it away because apparently Rudy Gobert likes licking things.

How. Is it safe for
Players and staff to fly all over country and stay in hotels now?

The players. One sick player, through physical contact, could infect both teams. And on it would spread as a team advances.

Hey I like licking things too...

The reason is that people that are young can have it and give it to their grandparents/parents without even knowing they had it.

It still is stupid. All those kids at these venues already aren't staying put.

 

[fluoxetine]

I really don't see any reason not to finish the Big Ten Tournament. Everyone is already there. They've already been in contact with each other and in the same arena. Let it go on.

NCAA probably needs to be reevaluated next week. Things could be very different.

Then if we look at like that, no one should fly anywhere and stay in any hotel
Over reaction imo

So everyone in the country should avoid all contact with everyone else then

If there are sick players it would be a different story

Pretty sure common influenza is basically the same. May not be an overreaction but we can't stop living.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Move it to May. Figure it out.

Can't believe this dumb crap is still being uttered

It's a different world now. I'm not saying we shouldn't cancel because I'm not an expert, but over-reaction is the new norm.

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

i dont understand this. Test all players and coaches from now until game time. anyone with any symptoms doesnt play.

 

[PSUriseANDfire]

Can't believe this dumb crap is still being uttered

Yeah influenza isn't contagious. My bad.

 

[RU Mike73]

Move it to May. Figure it out.

You can’t do that. Do you hold practice for a month and a half? School is out in May. Love this time of year but I expect tourney to be cancelled.

Being rusty is better than canceling.

Well that’s is what is happening. You can’t fly to Europe and there will be travel bans in the US. Wake up buddy.

 

[MadRU]

Game canceled
