"NCAA should have canceled Men's BB Season"

But it’s not what he said.  OP is very far off base

It is interesting that everyone wanted the football season canceled when the season went to pot and used COVID as the reason.  Now that Men's BB is undefeated and cases are actually much higher, everyone who wants to cancel for the same reasons, is an a hole.

It is odd.

Dave Brandon?

Fuckin Kevin, be nice to fuckin Barbara. You were the runt of the litter then ya got on the roids. You're a deadset cunt, aren't ya?

Didn’t Coach K say the same thing when his team was 0-5?

My thought as well.

Fans? Perhaps some said that. Coaches or players? No freaking way! But guess what? In basketball, coaches K, Izzo and Calipari have all whined about the season being played. You want to know the common denominator with all of those names? Their teams suck ass right now. As far as Louisville, I permanently hate them, they have a vacated national championship that belongs to us that was handed to them because that one dude broke his leg and the NCAA was sucking Pitino off better than that restaurant whore he was banging. 

Im pretty sure saying i wish they cancelled it and they should have cancelled it mean two different things.

But heck what do I know.

Uh, no.  Have you even been to this board?  We've been tearing UM football apart for months.  Even the Harbaugh supporters agree that he's not getting it done.  

If that excuse was being used more than a handful of times, I missed it.

Villanova is interesting b/c they did this: decided after their Dec 23 game to have a "holiday break, a lull that includes three days of visits from players’ families"

They have not played a game since, due to a big COVID outbreak, cancelling 3 games and won't play another one until at least mid-January.

I completely understand thinking it is a good idea to have a mental health/family break, and they put some good effort into this (e.g., providing space on campus for families to visit; thinking about precautions) but these weren't supervised, had an eating component (a big spreader risk, unless you are quite careful, which is really hard for families who haven't seen each other) and only had 4 days of quarantine (need at least 7 due to lags in when tests can detect the virus in certain situations).

Basketball during a pandemic is a challenging situation, but even Coach K knows that if March Madness doesn't happen this year, the billion-plus dollars the NCAA will lose will cripple the sport. So we'll have a season and a tourney even if it's a 17-2 Villanova vs a 26-5 Gonzaga in the finals with numerous tourney games cancelled along the way.

Thanks for this info.

I have no issue with this plan, but it should have been implemented from the start (not Valenti's fault, obviously). To adjust now would be difficult, particularly the switch in the tourney time -- TV money drives the bus and does CBS want a tourney in May?

I tend to think they'll just bumble through, like college football has done, and hope for the best.

Not arguing, just curious, what will delaying it a month do to help? 

Why not just play as many games now as can, then, and postpone the ones you can't. If they have to push the tourney back to May because of the amount of postponed games, then so be it.. you're in the same situation, but at least had the possibility of getting it in on time. If you push it back a month and start having postponement, then you're now looking at June for the tourney.

Where was he living? I remember they lived in Royal Oak at some point.

I stopped listening to all talk-radio several years ago. I only listen to podcasts or Spotify. I can't imagine how Valenti can do that job four hours every day, especially since he likes to bag on bad teams and literally every Detroit team completely blows right now. You'd have to be drunk to take calls from a bunch of unemployed used car salesmen after another Lions loss. It's exhausting to listen to, much less have it as a job.
