The Coronavirus is and will be the focus of intense interest for some time. I suggest considering moving this topic to the "OFF TOPIC - non-sports related posts can go here." I expect this thread will grow exponentially as will the virus. With all the misinformation surrounding the illness we must be diligent posting only reliable sources that we have vetted. I'm down with getting this moved to off topic. Also are you suggesting the link I posted is an unreliable source? I'm not sure either way but if you have a reason to believe it is incorrect or misleading I would delete the link.

This isn't sports related?!?
Tom Izzo on with @dpshow now. On the Big Ten Tourney. "Might be best if things are postponed or cancelled."
A10 news broke last night of no fans. Impacts from corona on rest of tourneys, NCAA / NIT, etc
I think this is very much sports related. Just because a few posts don't include sports directly doesn't mean the whole thread needs to be moved to off-topic, especially when SBU football gets discussed in very unrelated threads to the aforementioned topics.

I think it should be cancelled. I believe sports are a great escape; however, why take any risk. I will probably get crushed for this, but I love the idea to SHUT everything down. I personally do not trust people to make the right choices.
Google the genius health care worker from New Hampshire. He was waiting for his test results and was told to stay home yet he went to an invite only event which caused it to spread/ yes he tested positive on Monday for it. He should be arrested!

jive36....I also do not know the veracity of the TOMAS PUEYO article you posted. It MAY be spot on. He is a non medical person drawing conclusions which are beyond his level of expertise with an MBA from Stanford University, where he specialized in behavioral psychology, design, storytelling, and scriptwriting.
I was urging posters to be cautious in citing Coronavirus articles that may be misleading.
I had in mind the post by MTG007 which he deleted and explained his good reason for deleting it. Good job!
Sports and Coronavirus are significantly intertwined. I suggested a separate thread just for the virus' ever changing status and updates on data (such as the PUEYO article) and useful medical information.
Discussion and opinion on CORONAVIRUS and its significant impact on SPORTS is very relevant to this Band Wagon thread.

Don't post if you can't cite and source.

Big Ten tournament cancelled, ACC tournament cancelled I heard Duke and Kansas pulled out of the NCAA tourney saying they won't have their players traveling. As two top schools, this could mean the end of the NCAA tourney this year as well. Or if they decide to play games and enough schools back out, the Bonnies could still get a bid. The last part was a joke, the first part was something on the radio stated.

The last part was a joke, the first part was something on the radio stated. I really wonder what the powers that be in the NCAA will do......can you imagine the lunacy of having "selection Sunday", with each conference selecting their regular season winner then the committee picking the at-large, for a tournament that won't be played in the foreseeable future at best, or being cancelled.
