Cancel The Conference Tournament

If they have trouble rescheduling games, then I am all for canceling the B1G tournament so that all 14 teams can get their 20 reg season games in. Lets at least, based on a full 20 game schedule, crown a regular season champion, which is the recognized champion.

My guess is there will be so many games cancelled before then that one more week won't be enough to get them all in. Having the conference tournament may be the only way we have to give all 14 teams an equal shot in one weekend to win the conference. Any regular season championship will probably be tainted by having played an unequal number of games and who they did and didn't have to play.
Not sure what the right answer is but I think the NCAA would be wise to skip a week in between the conference tourneys and the start of March madness. Teams are gonna have issues after being by other teams all weekend.
Thanks for the nod OP but I didn't originate the idea,.. just echoed it.
Skipping the Big 10 tournament might also help reduce the potential for mass spreader event that could damage the entire conference prior to NCAA tournament...
Or just cancel everyone’s last two games and use that week to ensure everyone can get to 18 played 
I'm the minority in this, but I actually hate the conference tournaments. It creates two separate "champions" and waters down the regular season results. I'd rather increase the number of reg season games and go straight to the ncaa tourney.
Those tournaments keep bad teams playing every game competitively, because they can still get their shots at March Madness. Yeah, if you’re good on a regular basis, then they I guess they don’t mean much
I wouldn't skip a week, but I'd build an extra week into the schedule so they can reschedule tournament games if needed.
Cancel the Power 5's, no reason to have at large from those conferences anyways. All earlier smaller conferences would be 2 weeks out, so time to recover.
I'm beginning to think after we got screwed in the football season that if you cancel, it is a forfeit and a win for the other team. It would reward a team for being careful avoiding the virus.
No. Keep it. Do what we can then have it based on the records at the end.
If Michigan ends up winning the regular season title and we lose it because we lost at their place, I'd like to have chance to see Iowa beat Michigan for BTT on neutral court. I don't see any overriding reason to cancel BTT to make up a couple games.
I agree, our country might explode if that happened.
The regular season champion is skewed anyway.
You think it’s fair that Michigan doesn’t play at Iowa, Illinois and Rutgers this year?
If you want a true regular season champion, then every team plays a home and home.
Otherwise, not a true champion.
The conference tournament is going to produce the best team and therefore gets the automatic bid!

Agree. With how good the B1G is this year the conference tourney would be great entertainment all weekend.
Its just to make money. No good reason for it. Esp in the conferences that get one bid.
FWIW, the Big East Conference Tournament is still on, as seen in tweet & story below.
I have not heard of any Power 6 Conference cancel....yet.
