There’s a chance this entire thing could still get shut down:

Just now on @CBSSportsHQ our @dennisdoddcbs reports that a major conference official told him a total cancellation the NCAA Tournament is definitely a possibility

Twitter jumps in:

Soft. We’re lucky we are in America, where we get the right to choose. We should be able to exercise that right, not let the NCAA dictate our decisions

I mean what its impacted 3 out of every one million people living in the United States…might as well shut everything down.

This is nothing more than a move based on paranoia and panic. The NCAA is going to lose a ton of fans over this!

This is the worst decision in the history of bad decisions. Everyone knows the risks by now of the virus. You could take temperatures of fans like the to in Japan at immigration. Older fans could choose to stay away. How sad will this be for the winning team.

Complete over reaction on a national level. More people during the duration of the NCAA Tournament will die in auto accidents then the whole year in USA of China Virus.
