What if someone got a mild cough during a conf tourney? What if they tested positive?

You mean like Fred Hoiberg and the Nebraska team currently quarantined in a locker room?

Holberg has the flu. Influenza A. Overreact much?

But that still makes it worth having a team sit in locker room wondering if they have been exposed during what is now labeled as a pandemic? It is only a matter of time, and the NCAA will cancel.

No, it's just another example of an overreaction. Every time a coach or player coughs, gets a fever, or gets the flu, the team shouldn't be kept in the locker room,. That's my point.

And that is why it will eventually be cancelled

Getting closer: News just now popped up that most, if not all, of the power-5 conference tournaments have been cancelled.rocklobster said:Any reaction will be considered an overreaction! Siding on safety of players and spectators is not an overreaction, especially when there are so many unanswered questions! Testing needs to increase, and until then, the NCAA will have no choice but to shut the tournament down! Moving toward a political argument on this thread!grizindabox said:...

One commentator floated the suggestion that the big tournament be postponed. Seems reasonable to me ... buy some time to learn more about how the virus is really going to spread (or not) in this country. Would be a lot of disruption, but it's never bad to learn more when the stakes could be high.grizindabox said:And common sense to me would be to err on the side of caution.

That might be the best route.
