Who in the heck do you think's influencing the advisory board. The media!!! Once again I'm going to have to hold my tongue, so I don't say anything to offend somebody. The media is taking a megap

This narrative about only being a threat to the elderly is wildly inaccurate. Also really insensitive. Please stop this.    “People of all ages can be infected by the new coronavirus (2019-nCoV

Isn't the cusa tourney an "upcoming championship event?"

It stated in the full release it’s up to the respective conferences to decide. They are not bound by the NCAA decision.

Oh thank you! Some gleam of hope. Do we really think http://conferenceusa.com/staff.aspx?staff=2 will continue? She is not a great commissioner.

I'm no fan of hers....but if the governing body makes a recommendation I'm not sure I would go against it. Not in the public scrutiny age we live in today. All executives cover their butts first. Regardless of the danger or non danger, I don't think she would put herself out on a limb like that.

But who knows.....

Yes, for sure. Me too, I have been looking forward to this for a week.

Same.  I even had the mother in law on board!  We’ll see what CUSA decides, but I’m assuming they’re going to err on the side of caution. Can’t really blame them, but it’s still disappointing.

My daughter is a senior in high school, some students were to take a trip to New York. At the last minute after all the parents paid a load of money to have their kids take this trip. Covit 19 strikes and no trip.

This means there's been 18 strains of covit before this one. No Mass hysteria about any of those strains.

At least most folks traveling to Frisco might be out a few dollars for some tickets and maybe hotel deposit. I wish I was only out a few bucks, which I don't know that I'll ever see again. So, it could be much worse.

I can't comment any more about the situation because then you'll really know how I feel.

Yes, I do understand that in certain circumstances there are real health concerns that I can certainly appreciate. But again I better keep my mouth shut so I don't post anything that can be held against me in the future.

I am reading between the lines. I feel the same way......

Chinese, Italians, the elderly... No big deal. But now, the coronavirus has finally killed something that matters: The NCAA Tournament. 

Not cool, coronavirus. Not cool at all.

I live in Houston, and to a certain extent, every time there's a hurricane that rolls through of any size. You would think I would have to search for Noah's ark. During Harvey, which was bad no doubt about it, the city of Houston and Corps of engineer's purposely flooded many neighborhoods because they let water out of 2 dams on large bayou here.

All because they didn't want all that water to flood downtown Houston. So let's guess how many families are left holding the bag.

      College Football’s 12-Team Playoff Finally Arrived—and It Was a Complete Dud

      No upsets, no road wins and a parade of blowouts suggest the sport’s new postseason format is in need of a rethink. Ever since college football introduced a four-team playoff a decade ago, analysts and armchair quarterbacks had salivated over the prospect of adding more teams to the mix. When the sport announced an expanded postseason bracket for this season—with first-round games held on snowy campuses in December—fans were positively drooling. read more: https://www.wsj.com/sports/football/college-football-playoff-ohio-state-texas-penn-state-notre-dame-7ee4d3dc

      Similarities Very similar: Products of winning programs. DeSoto should have won at least one State Championship under White and Jimerson did. Both are/were pass first quarterbacks though dual threats to take it to the house from the pocket or roll outs. Both are/were high IQ quarterbacks that rarely make mistakes. Huge passing/rushing yardage throughout their career. Both are/were undersized by P4 standards Both were surrounded by exceptional P4 talent with explosive offenses Both ran/run 4.4 40's. Neither received serious offers to play QB Differences Jimerson is about 5-11, 165 to White's 5-7, 155. White was the starter for 2 years and Jimerson since his freshman year. Jimerson may be better passing out of the pocket. Both are/were equally accurate passers, White may have been a tad better. White committed to UNT as his lone offer before committing to TCU. Jimerson committed to TCU first before signing with UNT. Though White decommitted from UNT, I still feel he was the better overall HS quarterback; with less weapons. RB Dontre Wilson was a national recruit that committed to Oregon but signed with Ohio St. Just some thoughts
