    rumors making their way around campus here that the tournament is being called off or postponed indefinitely, but wasn't 100% sure. this clarifies things.

    for normalcy's sake,

    That's not unique to Coronovirus though.

    Not if they're is a governmental restriction per se. But events cancelled altogether will mean no reason to go

    I really thought this was KUs year to win the tournament again.

    So if it's canceled, them missing out is one thing to celebrate!

    What a goddamn year for the MLB All Star Game to finally be back at Dodger Stadium (1st since ‘80, so it’ll be the first one to experience for me & many others). :p

    Pretty sure I saw the 1977 one at Yankee Stadium. (I lived in CT at the time and a local place called Show Bus Tours ran buses for ball games. Saw one of the World Series games that way as well).

    I am so glad this hadn't hit us hard yet when the Super Bowl happened.... what a bummer to not have March Madness this year. I get it, but it's still a bummer.

    I am now really really focused on the Olympics. God I hope this is a lot more under control by then. They CAN move them to the fall if they want, as long as they happen in 2020 by Olympic bylaws. I just love the Olympics more than anyone probably should and I don't want to miss the summer ones for four more years.

    Bruce Pearl is giving a reasoned, measured, and thoughtful response on ESPN right now -- Bruce Pearl!!! -- so clearly the simulation is broken.

    Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta tests positive for coronavirus
    Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta has tested positive for coronavirus. In a statement the club said Arsenal employees who have had recent close contact with Arteta will now self isolate and that they expect this to be a significant number of people from the London Colney training centre including the full first-team squad and coaching staff, as well as a smaller number of people from our Hale End Academy which we have also temporarily closed as a precaution.

    It would mean Liverpool are European Champions two years in a row.

    This is the nice thing about the Olympics, can delay to 2021 and still have them again in 2024.

    Well, "nice." If you were training to peak in Aug you've gotta completely revamp how you approach the next year and hope it holds up.

    They can't push them back to next year. By Olympic law, they have to be held sometime in 2020 or they just have to be canceled.
