This would never happen under Kevin Warren’s watch.
The league is already going to hell.

Didn't we lose in the first round last year? I don't know, if it's not past the first weekend it might as well be the first round.Was our one and only, no?
Uncle Joe told us if we get vaxxed we won't get the dreaded Vid.

As of today the CDC website shows 101.5 million positive tests since 3/20, and we have roughly 330m citizens.
Overreact much?

if we care about athletes safety, as is suggested, perhaps we would have looked at long term adverse effects of experimental gene therapies before mandating there use.
This cause of death was recently revised to be “with CoVid” not from covid….
We would have been in agreement…..two years ago. Covid had now mutated into something much less dangerous, especially for young, healthy athletes.
Is anyone really taking precautions against Covid now unless they are at super high risk or the extremely paranoid? Nope.
Covid is endemic now. We can either move on with our lives, those who need to can take the necessary precautions, or cower in fear. Which would you prefer?

Might be a blessing. With the next game cancelled, it will give them additional rest and prep for Theee Ohio St. game on Sat.
265,000 deaths a year is still plenty dangerous. For the record, I agree we have (and should) transition to a more normal lifestyle. But it would be stupid to play in a basketball game or go out in public if you know you have COVID. It’s not an all or nothing proposition when it comes to safety. We can be intelligently nuanced.
No one is arguing that. NW should have to forfeit. COVID isnt a special disease.
And roughly 93% of those deaths are people who were 50+. Is that nuanced enough for you?
Northwestern plays on 2/2....
From what I can see, the only date that would conceivably work in the next two months would be 1/31
It also happens to be a night that the BTN only has 1 game scheduled. 6:30 tip Nebraska @ Illinois. Bump that to 6, and keep the Iowa/NW game for 8pm tip. Seems simple enough.
As I’m 56, I feel you are underestimating the value of my life. In any event, I’d point out that the average age for the “adverse impact” of COVID is unfortunately trending down.
Sorry, was thinking of First four, but many don't consider that part of the first round..
I heard 5 with covid and one other with a raging case of gonorrhea.
And have 2 to 3 co-morbidities….
deaths under 30 no co-morbidities is extremely rare.
in addition to the age filter
A happy medium between the two. (Which this is.)
Jesus Christ, postponing a game because players have COVID isn't "cowering in fear"
Some of the responses in this thread are asinine.
You aren’t playing, brother. Nor should you be in attendance if it’s a concern. There, all better.
Roughly 6k deaths for the age group of 18-29 since the beginning of Covid in the US. We are probably looking at closer to half that number for the actual age group playing. Yet the people with my point of view need to be more nuanced when discussing this matter? The hammer approach isn’t appropriate in this situation.
What if I told you there were coaches, support staff, arena personnel, and fans that don't fit into that demographic...
Careful, the mouth breathers and simpletons quit trying to understand this.
FWIW we’ve lost 3 patients (2 unvaccinated) in January…at least 3/day isn’t the norm anymore.
It’s not just the healthy young guys in a program or traveling party.
It sucks, game and the lingering, mutating virus, and Iowa should not be compromised w/rescheduling.
Does anyone know how a forfeiture impact NET rankings
So if I have COVID and don't go to work am I "cowering in fear?"
No shit? They’ve all been vaccinated, or should have been by now. They can also use those super useful masks if they feel it’s appropriate. If someone is at high risk of serious illness or death…..stay the **** home.
The committee doesn't view forfeits as actual games--the committee discussed this at length during 2020. All that it effects is BTT seeding.
