Final 4 and Elite 8 chatter

Someone on ESPN suggested playing at the Palestra in Philly. Same place we played Penn St earlier this year. It has much historic significance and it's a smaller venue.
 
Oh, I thought you were saying it was stupid to move to smaller venues.

Is moving to small arenas really answer either? I don't know. I would be the slightest worried about going to the games and by far, most wouldn't i don't think

yes it is, anything helps. At first I thought this was just media hype, but listening to actual experts and looking at data I have changed my thinking. It’s not if, it’s when with this virus. So we need to lower the chances of mass outbreak to give our medical professionals the best chance to keep it under control. (Resources, time, availability, etc)

Why not have it at practice facilities, high school gyms, etc. 200 people at a game don’t take up much room.
 
56000 people die from the flu on the average EVERY YEAR, why not cancel everything every year. Hysteria is taking over
I think you are missing the overall point here. The world is trying to stop a new and potentially deadly virus in it's tracks. Quite frankly, I'm impressed that the world is taking drastic measures in an effort to stop it from happening.

It’s the answer to “given no fans, how do we save money?”.
I doubt there is a 'disaster clause' to get out of the current large venue contracts. The NCAA probably just doesn't want the games to appears as though the are being played in the Bryce Jordan Mortuary.

So then you don't have crowds period, you don't say well "we'll drop it to 8k(or whatever number) fans"

quarantining folks entering the country a long time ago would have helped a lot more than this ;)
