Yea it just sucks for the players. Imagine you played on Harvard thinking you had a chance to win two games to get to the NCAA Tournament and now it's taken away.

Harvard could've finished first had they not flopped at home against Brown last weekend. They swept Yale and would've had the tie breaker.

Frankly I think the regular season champ is a better measure than a weekend tournament. But if the tourney didn't hold the auto bid$ they wouldn't be nearly as popular.

The same goes for manufactured conference title football game$.

You're asking us to have sympathy for young men who've been gifted an undergraduate education at an Ivy League university because they don't have a chance in one single season to play a single game in the NCAA Tournament? LOL!!

(And yes, I know the Ivy League "doesn't have athletic scholarships." Yeah, right.)

Well then I'd argue if proper precautions included just completely shutting down at the first sign of a fever.

With something like this going around, yeah it probably would be a good idea. You risk getting sued for negligence otherwise.

Using the daycare example, if there’s a known epidemic going around and your daycare didn’t send a kid home who was showing signs immediately, they absolutely could be slapped with a lawsuit if other kids got sick from it.

The NCAA is considering canceling the tournament, or at least public attendance of the games. I think they should at least have the games even if no fans are allowed to attend. The NCAA depends heavily on revenue from this tournament, so cancelling it would be a major blow to them financially.
