Atlantic 10 Tournament Game Day Action

[ramster]

Is this a bit that you’re doing here?

They’re keeping fans out because mass gatherings of people is dangerous for the people. They’re keeping fans away from each other. Obviously everyone would rather have the fans there - players, coaches, fans, the people putting on the event. They’re taking a precaution for the public good. Fans should be happy they are still putting the games on because at least we can take enjoyment from watching it on television. The idea that someone would say “I wish they would just not play the games at all” is so unbelievably bizarre to me that it seems like the thought of a malfunctioning brain. If they can play the game safely then I definitely want to watch it, especially if I’m trapped in my house.

I guess you could make your point without the hyperbole of "unbelievably bizarre" and "malfunctioning brain".

So here I am sitting in NY. My guess is you were not planning to attend. I'm not sure if you attended many games since you earlier stated you didn't know what CUE was. But it is pretty frustrating to be on site and have the unexpected announcement be made. Thousands of Big East Fans in NYC are none too happy either.

If the announcement was so obvious and clear cut that it just had to be done, then why did it take until Wednesday night at 9:30pm? What was Bill Koch even knowledgeable that discussions were going on Tuesday and none of that was shared with anybody. I would have cancelled my hotel, my transportation and waited it out if I knew there was even a 20% chance that Fans would not be allowed in.

But to call cancelling the games coming from someone with a "malfunctioning brain" is bizarre in itself. Glad you got 6 likes too - that will encourage you to be more insulting I suppose.

Nut consider someone with a malfunctioning brain cancelled the NBA Games. They are not going to play those games for the enjoyment of people on their TV. They are cancelled for safety. So my malfunctioning brain says if the NBA can cancel games because it is the right thing to do, then why wouldn't colleges do the same.

But then I'm stupid.

Hey ramster, remember during all the "Fordham should get kicked out" talk, how you would repeatedly posted that people should stop talking about it on here and just email the conference instead since they are the only ones that could do anything about it? I believe you even provided the necessary contact information. Maybe that would be the best course of action on this subject to? Nobody here can do anything about it.

yep.
In fact, that's why I'm rooting for Fordham to win yesterday and today. But not tomorrow.
But please consider that I have a malfunctioning brain so be patient

Honest question, how did you not know there was a 20% chance of this happening? We had videos shared that had URI players talking about this possibility at the media availability before going to Brooklyn. Cancellations were popping up all over the country. The Ivy League outright cancelled their tournament Tuesday morning. This is exactly where this whole thing was heading

I won’t be shocked if the NCAA suspends all intercollegiate athletics by end of day today. Then they’ll decide whether or not they can or want to resume conference tournaments and the NCAA tournament in a month or two. This may not be feasible, but there is big money involved. We’re in uncharted territory here, folks.

I guessed at the 20%.
If it was so obvious to everyone that this is where it was heading then why didn’t they cancel fans Tuesday? Or just cancel the whole thing like Ivy did. I guess that’s why the Ivys are so smart.

I wouldn’t be stuck in NY if they had made the decision Tuesday

Well, i took your advice about my previous advice and I sent a note to the A10 Commish with my thoughts.
I’m sending a note on how Cyril should have made an all conference team too.
