Ivy League Cancels Basketball Season
« on: November 13, 2020, 09:34:02 PM »

I think this is a huge over reaction and grossly unfair to these kids who have worked their whole life for this opportunity.

No reason they can’t play games in empty gyms.

Umm it's the IVY league, if you're  concerned about basketball after getting a free IVY education you've got something wrong with you.

Also saw a graph today that showed the current spike vs the spike during the shutdown and it's currently much much worse but yeah now it's an overreaction after thousands and thousands have died

I thought it was a mistake to cancel last season as well. Could have finished out the conference tournaments and held the NCAA on an empty gym basis.

Not all of them get free educations. Some pay full freight. But, many wouldn’t get an Ivy education if not for basketball.

The BE may have made a similar decision if it weren’t for the TV $$$.  I doubt there will be D2 or D3 championships staged in winter sports when all is said and done.

College basketball isn’t an essential activity and they’re in school to get an education or so I thought.

College basketball is or isn’t a business.  The leagues that have a season will be the ones reinforcing it's a business

The difference is the Ivy's don't need the money.  Their sports programs will still be funded and fine without playing a season.

In hindsight, I agree with you on the conference tournaments. The players were already there. I do not remember any Big East players coming down with the virus in the two weeks after it was cancelled. I am not sure finishing the Big East tournament would of resulted in a lot of transmission. They could of kept the players in their hotel rooms until it was time to go to their games.

You’re applying November knowledge to something that occurred in March.

Ultimately the BET was irrelevant anyway.

Ivy programs don’t have the budgets people think. There is a huge disconnect between athletic departments and university administration. Brown is cutting sports.

Villanova games may be canceled in Philly?

This may actually not affect Villanova. The town of Villanova is a suburb of Philadelphia and located in Delaware County as opposed to the city proper, which is in Philadelphia County. They would have to play all their games at the Finneran Pavilion, but I imagine that's the plan this year anyway.

My son was just on a recruiting visit to a private D3 in WI and the message was they will probably not play this year.  Testing at over $100 per test for 20 player 3x per week is just too costly for D3 programs and I would guess many D2 schools as well.
NAIA schools already have up to 6 games in they operate under different rules

The GNAC D2 conference will only have four of 10 schools competing in basketball. Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and British Columbia schools.

Can't the players opt out & keep their scholarship? They can choose as they want. The truth is that college basketball players, as with the vast majority of people aged 18-21, are minimally concerned.

Warp Speed seems to be working .  Production is in place when the vaccine is approved and then as you point out life gets back to normal.

Well earliest available to general public is April. Need two doses 3 months apart and about 3 months after second shot for immunity that might not last a whole year. Might have some normalcy by end of 2021, but don't expect regular normalcy.

Pfizer didn't take any money from Warp Speed.

The problem is, people are dying NOW.  What we need is a national lockdown for the next 4-6 weeks (with adequate funding for relief for businesses and individuals).  Those 4-6 weeks will suck, but I'll take it if it means I get 20 more years with my parents instead of a couple months.

FF according to social media. Listening to Simmons and Ruessilo a couple of weeks ago, NBA is looking at $4billion losses this season. For those smarter then me, does that put MU in a better or worse situation in their relationship with Bucks ownership?

But is that truly $4B in "losses" or is it revenue missed out on?  I suspect the latter.  In other words, can NBA franchises still turn a profit with national and local TV\radio money and merchandise sales, even without fans?  I don't know the answer.  However I doubt that NBA owners are going to be shelling out $4B just to break even, so it's a missed opportunity more than a loss.

It is probably pretty close to the same thing. I am not sure the owners make much money on their teams. They make most of their money as the value of franchises increase.
