ATLANTA — The madness will go on in March - but without college basketball fans in the stands.

 

The NCAA announced that games in the Division I men’s basketball tournament will not be played in front of fans. The decision comes in response to growing concerns about the coronavirus.

 

This includes the Men’s Final Four, which Atlanta is hosting April 4 through 6 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

“While I understand how disappointing this is for all fans of our sports, my decision is based on the current understanding of how COVID-19 is progressing in the United States,” NCAA President Mark Emmert said in a statement.

 

The NCAA men's tournament starts Tuesday in Dayton, Ohio. Cities in California, Florida, Indiana, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas and Washington were all selected to host the other rounds. All of those states have confirmed or presumed positive coronavirus cases.

 

The NCAA’s decision also applies to the Division I women’s tournament. The tournament selects individual schools to host the opening rounds on campus. The Women’s Final Four is set for New Orleans.

 

College basketball isn’t the only sport that has made changes over the coronavirus. A few NBA, MLB and MLS teams are also making decisions to not play upcoming games in front of fans.

That female staffer is loud

Reminds me of my mom when she goes into kindergarten-teacher mode

EVERYBODY SIT ON THE FLOOR ON YOUR BOTTOMS

KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF

ABSOLUTELY NO TALKING OR YOU SIT IN THE CORNER

 

If you don't do what she says, she'll keep going.

Oh, we can blame everything wrong with "journalism" on William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, who let a rivalry turn modern (relatively) journalism into a travesty. Hearst owned the San Francisco Examiner, and shilled for the Spanish-American War so hard that it HAPPENED.
