Vegas_Sioux Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 Like it’s been said but here is the NCHC’s statement.
Sioux>Bison Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 How about we quarantine everyone above the age of 60 and the rest of us just go on and live our life as usual???!!!!! Dumb dumb dumb, WAKE UP PEOPLE! More kids will die from starvation because of this hysteria than people who will die from the Wuhan Flu 4
siouxfan512 Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 So are they waiting to announce if the NCAA Tourney is cancelled then?
cowboys5xsbs Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 RIP what a downer for a special season and team
Popular Post fightingsioux4life Posted March 12, 2020 Popular Post Posted March 12, 2020 I think the NCAA should grant an extra year of eligibility for all student-athletes no matter the sport. They are being cheated out of playoff games and post-season tournaments because of something completely out of their (and their school's) control. Push the reset button on eligibility and give these young men and women another year. 13

There are kids waiting to come in next year who may be aged out of juniors. What do they do if there isn't room for them anymore? Then if they're stuck in juniors, then there are some kids finishing high school who don't have anywhere to go because the juniors rosters are filled up. The graduating seniors will be disappointed and pissed off that this happened, but will still go on with their lives and careers just the same as if they played the post season. But if some kids further down the line don't get their chance at all, their career might never happen. 3

I just think we need to do what is best for the student-athletes that are in college now. Graduating seniors deserve another shot at winning conference and/or national titles. Not to mention the memories and experiences of being on a team.

Do you not play any games next fall/winter and just pick up the NCHC tournament first round come next March? I don't have the answer either, but this season looks like it'll be a nice big * in the scorecard of sports history everywhere.
Siouxphan27 Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 If domestic flights aren't stopped, it makes me wonder if the ncaa and professional sports leagues decisions are more financial based than health recommendation based. How can we have hundreds of thousands of people still flying all over the country..... yet a gathering of under 200 people to have a hockey or basketball game is not allowed? 2

THIS is why you can't have careers in sports journalism, kids. The jobs are being taken up by highly paid professionals from completely unrelated disciplines. 1

Yote 53 Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 At this point I am more worried about a recession the likes of which we haven't seen since the 1930's. The stock market fell 24.8% in 1929. We're down 24% from highs last month right now with no end to the panic in sight. Our economy might not recover from this. 3

LH Golfer Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 We made it through the 30's and WW2. We will get through this.
Oxbow6 Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 1300+ cases.....38 deaths so let's all sit and watch Rome burn to the ground because of it. 1 2
Siouxperfan7 Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 Perspective you won't hear from the MSM Worldwide Coronavirus stats: 128,000 cases 4718 deaths 69,000 FULLY RECOVERED (So far) 1
Yote 53 Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 The point is that Obama did not panic and shut everything down in 2009 during the swine flu. The reaction we are having today might be more damaging than the virus itself. Yes, we got through the 1930's, but how many people suffered through poverty? How many died as a result of that poverty? I'm not saying coronavirus is not dangerous or that we shouldn't be concerned. I'm just saying that we need to think real hard about the actions we're taking to combat it and how the ramifications of those choices might be worse than doing nothing at all. 2

This is an opportunity to buy and hold long term right now. ETA: 1200 is about 40% off of AMZN high of about 2100 a month ago.
SWSiouxMN Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 Duke and Kansas is not going to the NCAA tournament if one is played.... You know what's coming next.
