AAC Tournament in Ft. Worth

[ShockRef]

Cancel everything...Churches, grocery stores, gas stations, bingo parlors.... anywhere that people can possibly congregate... stay in your home, close the blinds, don't go outside for any reason.
Coronavirus is just like the scene in 10 Commandments where all 1st born will be taken by the red fog....It's coming to get you and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. Ok, maybe spread some goat blood on your doors.... yea, that will do it.
The media has spread this mass hysteria and is loving the attention.

The panic being created is beyond absurd, but once again politics and litigation fuel the fire.

That is all.

Who would have ever thought this could happen a week ago? Is March Madness next?

If we don't hear of it's cancellation or suspension by mid-afternoon I will be shocked.

I wish I could like this post a thousand times

Hopefully they allow redshirt years if a player wants to come back to school for an extra year.

Is all of this an overreaction? Probably. So what? I’d rather have the overreaction, than to try and guess what the bare ass minimum response should be and guess wrong.

Not speaking about just the sports cancellations. I realize cancelling this stuff is not dangerous.

HOWEVER, overreaction can be as dangerous, if not more dangerous, than under reaction. Just waiting for the rioting and looting in the streets at this point.....lol

That would be nice but it would also create other problems unless you make the scholarships not count against the total. If they still count against the 13 someone else has to lose their's.

Even then what about a team that had 4 or 5 seniors this year? I can't see the NCAA letting teams carry that many extra players next year.

Should we cook the goat blood so we dont end up like the idiot that ate the raw bat?

Jaime :((((((((((((

Feel awful for Jaime and all seniors but in the grand scheme of things this was a perfect season to have the postseason canceled. This team wasn't going anywhere. I still believe it was a fractured team with holes to address going forward.

Good point .. but easily fixed. Not all players will want to go to school another year. Put waivers on scholarships for all players currently on teams or committed to teams. They expire as those players "graduate" using the new timelines.

Question: At what point is changing societal behavior worth it? Let's say you can reduce the death count from 300,000 to 100,000 just by nationally cancelling all the sports stuff and restricting foreign travel? Are those 200,000 lives worth it? What you could only drop it from 300,000 down to 275,000? At what point do you just say, welp, death is a part of life and change nothing?

If the coronavirus happened 20 years ago, there would have been no cancellations of events where large groups of people would be gathered. Most likely there would have been a higher percentage of deaths from the virus, but the virus would have run it's course a lot faster. The way it is now, with no vaccine available fora year to a year and a half, it's going to last longer.

This raises a question. Is it better to let nature run its course, or let human intervention try to take care of it?

Anytime humans become involved it is worse
