Will we have selection Sunday ? What will CBS do all day Saturday and Sunday ?

The selection committee no longer has to wait for results of games to seed and select the teams.

Games like Texas Tech vs Texas was supposed to be basically a play in game. Now will both teams make it just because ?

Remember in 2009 when the tornado hit and Kentucky got a bid because when we probably didn't deserve it because of that tornado when we lost an early game vs Georgia.

No one knows what is going to happen and most of us like me feel like the NCAA tournament will be cancelled so why even have a selection show ?

Barkley already said it should be canceled. How is he going to be on selection Sunday after that? (I think he got the memo early about what would happen).

Seems there are more important things to worry about, and based on those things I'm pretty sure CBS will have no problem coming up with subject matter.

There will be no NCAA Tournament. The 2020 season has officially ended.

The question is, how will this effect the sport? Attendance over the past few seasons has steadily declined, so will fans get so frustrated that they won't return? Or will it create more anticipation for the start of next season and attendance spikes?

To put in nicely, NO. Let's pack it in and pray there will be a next year.

Now that Kansas and Duke have pulled out of the tournament I think this is the nail in the coffin.

They should try and postpone it and see what happens in 30 days.

Sucks if they outright cancel it.

Looks like that is happening.

I thought it was going to suck to play games with limited fans but that would be great compared to what is happening now.

Not having games is such a void.

The NBA shutting down was the nail in the coffin.

Top NCAA officials are meeting most of the day Thursday to decide the future of the 2020 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament amid growing concerns over the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, a high-level NCAA source told CBS Sports' Dennis Dodd. Though a decision could be shared with the public at any point, the current expectation is that an official announcement won't be made until Friday.

It's going to be "Reflection Sunday" this year. Highlights from the season of no National Champion.

It is fun to imagine all the big time money deals gone bad with this virus.
I am poor so I can this stuff.
I am sad if the every day person hurts from this.

No way OP. No way. You will have to wait another year to see if one of your 47 teams can win the title.
