School Closings

[Peter Brown]

So what happens if sports are suspended? Do players get an extra year of eligibility? Do they resume season with current records and schedules at a later date? Man this is so unfortunate. I have no desire to suspend teams' seasons, but with classes being cancelled all over I don't see admins allowing sports to continue without interruption. UGH

How many seniors would even want to come back for an extra year to play, rather than go out in the world and start 'life'? I wanted to leave college so badly by the spring of my senior year, I couldn't stand it.

This will be fascinating to see how it plays out.

I'm curious to see what games are played today. i.e. How much of this is speculation and how much is real.

Yes, confirmed Amherst cancels. Hearing humors from people involved with Harvard athletics that they will make a similar announcement in the coming days.

Harvard orders students to vacate; all courses online.

The Ivy League announces it has decided to cancel the conference’s upcoming basketball tournaments and will “implement highly-restrictive, in-venue spectator limitations for all other upcoming campus athletics events.”

We appear to be nearing a tipping point...

And pretty quickly, I wished I could go back to college and postpone adulthood for a little while longer.

I was wondering when someone would say it. They have the whole rest of their lives to be miserable.

So what should these schools do, wait until the virus community spreads to their campuses? If that happens then the government will take over and a campus wide quarantine will be implemented which will make a cancelled lacrosse season seem incredibly trivial.
Also, I'd imagine they'd find more than a few cases close by if they were testing broadly.

Just drink a bit of 151 Bacardi, Everclear, or Absinthe every day, the > 70% alcohol should kill most of it. Otherwise if you run from it it's only gonna come back.

I say, shut the entire county down for two weeks....we all could use the break.

Ohio State just cancelled in person classes.

At this point, it's more than safe to say that Spring semester is done for American college campuses.

Can't imagine spring sports will continue for more than a few days.

Ivy League cancelled their basketball championships this weekend...

Stop the Madness. This is panic for the sake of panic. Even if you get it and are young, you aren't going to die. It's a variation of the flu

Towson is canceling class for the rest of this week and is considering going remote after spring break.
