I wonder where Marcello is getting this?  According to CBS there won't be an answer before tomorrow (https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/2020-ncaa-tournament-status-top-ncaa-officials-meeting-with-decision-not-expected-until-friday/).    Now of course with so many school withdrawing, then it is a logical conclusion.  But still there is nothing saying that we won't have May-Madness instead of the March-Sadness we have now.

 

Disregard....  Just saw this https://www.cbssports.com/general/news/coronavirus-live-updates-ncaa-tournament-canceled-nhl-suspends-season-mlb-to-halt-spring-training/live/

I wish the NCAA would offer the seniors another year of eligibility and extend scholarship limits for each team by the number of seniors that return. Give them the chance to end their careers the right way. It wouldn't be hard to implement.

With the increased susceptibility for the elderly, has anyone checked on Golf?

Who am I kidding...if he could make it through the biblical plagues, then Covid won't stand a chance against that old SOB

\u200bDay 262: swine flu dwarfs the other epidemics.

  • By Day 60, it's the swine flu cases that have exploded, to more than 60,000 people ill and 296 people killed—surpassing Ebola (183), if not SARS (513).
  • The swine flu numbers keep growing exponentially: by Day 80, they've passed 362,000 cases (and 1,770 deaths), far surpassing any of the other diseases.
  • Day 100: swine flu cases are approaching 1 million, deaths have surpassed 5,000. That's far more than all the other diseases combined—they have merged into a single line at the bottom of the graph.
  • By Day 150, swine flu hit 5.2 million patients, with 25,400 people killed. By the time it was declared over, a year later, the outbreak would eventually have infected more than 60 million people and claimed the lives of almost 300,000.

Swine flu was caused by the H1N1 virus, which also caused the Spanish flu. That outbreak, in 1918/19, infected about 500 million people, or 1 in 3 people alive at that time. It killed at least 50 million people. It was the combination of extreme infectiousness and high fatality that made the Spanish flu such a global, lethal pandemic.

None of the other infectious diseases comes close to that combination. The swine flu, although more infectious than other diseases, was less infectious than the Spanish flu, and also less deadly (0.5%). Unlike COVID-19 or its fellow coronaviruses SARS and MERS, Ebola is not spread via airborne particles, but via contact with infected blood. That makes it hard to spread. Ironically, it may also be too lethal (39.6%) to spread very far. And COVID-19 itself, while relatively lethal (2.4%), is well below the deadliness of the Spanish flu, and does not seem to spread with the same ease.

Why to I feel that if that was Alabama they would just claim a NC?

They probably already claimed one since they didn't hear their name in the NIT selection show.

This isnt a corona thread, but the earlier post on this page completely fails to mention how many states/countries/regions have a complete lack of testing kits. Coinciding with that, there've been a ton of deaths incorrectly reported as flu (there's been massive flu spikes so far this year).

So glad to see Mark Cuban and others stepping up. Cuban has the right idea. This was one of my initial concerns. Good to see.

Not sure it's going to get down to those of us who do it at the college level but I am happy for all those who will get some relief.

I hope and pray that somehow it will. Yes, the athletes feel the pain but it's going to be worse on those like yourself who depend on the income. It's just a massive unfortunate circumstance that is having major consequences on so many people. My best wishes and prayers are with all who are affected.
