“We have some programming changes tonight here at ESPN.
The ACC Tournament game is being replaced by a rerun of Matlock.
The Big 12 Tournament game is being replaced by a documentary on clams.”

If this puts ESPN out of business, then bless COVID-19.

It’s over...full shutdown for the United States. Nothing moves starting next week.

Baby boom on the horizon.

At least we had the Smug Industries liberal hack tourney to get us by.

There is _zero_ evidence that _anybody_ wanted this.

If you have evidence, produce it.

full shutdown

Two weeks to go for that...and that will be selected "hotspots".

In addition some states/areas may choose to close their borders at some point to protect their hospitals/health care facilities from being overrun by incoming critical care patients.

Most conferences have a tournament prior to the National tournament.

This is the one sporting event I always enjoy. I don't watch much TV, but I never miss March Madness.

The Masters and PGA events will continue. Just no spectators on the golf course. Probably NASCAR stays as well.

maybe xfinity will bring TCM back to their regular cable, rather on their special sports package that costs extra, since there are no sports....

You’re right. Level-headed, rational adults are supposed to be in charge. Instead, what we have across the world are juvenile, overreacting, emotionally stunted idiots running things. It’s extremely pathetic.

I'm convinced that they are doing this in part to avoid lawsuits if someone gets the China flu at one of these events.

The gamblers will not be happy.

I've never bet more than $10 on one of those bracket pools, and not even that for several years.

I'm not happy either.

In fact, I'm beyond pissed off. And they just shut me out of opening weekend at Keeneland.

Too bad this didn’t happen during football season.

“Among the championships that were also canceled are hockey, softball, baseball and lacrosse.”

Well, I only watch the one, but they cancelled baseball in June!
________________________________________

Other college championships cancelled were

Women’s beach volleyball, women’s water polo, track and field, gymnastics, and men’s volleyball.

College World Series is in June...Yes, indeed. But, the NCAA decided to cancel every sport. I think college athletic directors told NCAA that it would be convenient for them if every sport is cancelled.
