From the wording of the announcement, that may well be the case. However, they may mean only the NCAA playoffs themselves.Griz2k said:With the NCAA saying only essential personnel and family will be allowed to attend tournament games, what does that mean for the remaining Big Sky games? Are they immediately obligated to keep fans out?

Well, my first impression was that individual conferences would make their own decisions, based -- more or less -- on local conditions. We'll see how it finally plays out.Griz2k said:Ya, I was doing little more research and it sounds like this decision does not affect the conference tournaments. Sounds like that's up to the individual conferences.IdaGriz01 said:From the wording of the announcement, that may well be the case the case.

My thought too. At the America East tournament, they have a setup to limit the number of tickets honored, so the spectators can spread out (keep to the people they know). Really ... I'm not making this up! I'd say we already have that, with no special arrangements.mtgriz said:Fortunately with the historically sparse crowds at the Big Sky Tournament, probably not an issue.

2020, the year viral pneumonia shutdown the world. What a colossally stupid panic.

I am not sure I would attend the NCAA tournament this year. On the other hand to suggest closing down the MLB and potentially other outdoor sports may be taking it too far.

Look at who's dying from this virus: the elderly with compromised immune systems. Those under 60 have a 98% recovery rate.
It's not dangerous to the vast majority of the population. Halting public gatherings isn't going to have any impact on the spread of this either. The Chinese took far more draconian measures regarding quarantine and the effects, as much as they can be extrapolated from the information that was massaged by the communists, were negligible.
Canceling these events and others worldwide isn't erring on the side of caution, it's making a huge mountain of negative consequences out of a molehill.
