My daughter team is down in Florida and played again today. Still planning to play 2 games tomorrow then head back
Yes, they have canceled -- not just suspended or postponed -- canceled the entire softball and baseball seasons. That means no WCWS or CWS this year. A little surprised they're canceling and not just suspending since those don't occur for a couple months. Lots of uproar to give the seniors another year of eligibility because of this (Expect the NCAA to do whatever the wrong thing is here).
Not all games have been cancelled. All championships have been cancelled. Sure to change, however.
DD's school has cancelled their games through April 5th. 3 other conference schools have also temporarily suspended their athletics. Other schools in their conference are still playing. That's as of now.Didn't realize it wasn't all games.
If they intended to change, I figured they would say suspended or postponed. It's even stranger that they're canceling tournaments that take place ~3 months from now, but not games happening now.
OK, now that is just weird ... possibly a little late at that point. It is pretty bad seeing coaches walk in to arenas and being notified at that point. But you already have an arena full of people and call it at half time ... wow.
I'm going to say some controversial things now ...
1.) Canceling at that point is NOT good leadership. Things should have been canceled or at least "on notice" before that.
2.) This has me thinking a little more about colleges shutting down and sending students home. Wouldn't it be more prudent to keep them there instead of dispersing them all over the country? Seems like a lock down would have made more sense.
