NCAA

Kansas has also suspended athletics.

I figure OSU will be quick to follow suit since the campus is already shut down.

I'm feeling like the tournament is gonna be called at this point. Every other conference and major sports leagues have suspended their season and now individual schools are dropping out.

This is just showing how money hungry and greedy the NCAA is, they have done absolutely nothing about all of this up to this point.

You're aware that a few days ago they had already declared fans would not be allowed to attend, right? That's not nothing.

Yeah, i guess i was thinking it was for the conference championships and the state governments or the conferences themselves decided that. So i guess i'll give them credit for that, but it doesn't change my opinion.

They are really the last sports event that hasn't suspended yet. Hell, the Big East actually played the first half of one game today before they called it. My opinion is that it should've been on the NCAA to make the call, not all the individual schools or conferences.

Don't get me wrong, they're evil, greedy, and corrupt, but give credit where it's due.

A little bit sad. BUT, it does mean UNC didn't miss the tourney this year!

The NCAA has instituted a recruiting dead period for all DI sports, effective until at least April 15. While coaches will not be on the road, Coaches may still call, Facetime, text, DM, or email contactable prospects.

No in person recruiting.

ESPN should do a 353 team NCAA tournament using EA sports or whatever they can.

Where the actual team picks someone actually on the team to be the player. Instead of just random people not associated with the teams.

Bill Self says his team being #1 in the final regular season poll means he would accept the championship trophy.
