Good on the NCAA but it’s hard to imagine they could do anything else at this point when so many schools are sending students home. Now for the NBA, NHL, MLS, concerts, political rallies, conferences, shopping malls, flights…I’m sure someone can add to this list.

The fastest way to nip this is to avoid all contact in large groups.
Professional baseball took a hit during WW2, and it survived with some well-needed other focus, btw.
People can watch the games from the safety of their own homes. It will keep the virus from getting worse.
BTW, once their school is out, those kids won’t attend any more games. It’s exciting as teams are eliminated and then the final game.
By next season, a great number of people will have long forgotten the NCAA championship, because it’s
FOOTBALL SEASON!
If they think they won’t be affected, they can go to the nearest bar. The alcohol alone should prevent any illness.
Most of the division 1 men’s basketball starters are one-and-dones, not students. They stop even pretending by january.

Late night talk shows going without live audiences starting Monday. Could this result in return of Laugh Tracks?
Only for white house events.
I agree, this is the most sensible choice. This is a disease that’s by and large bypassed young people; the players ought to be fine, and the few that get sick will almost surely recover.
This will limit the overall attendance at the sixty-some games of the NCAAs to less than you’d normally see at a single game. That’s a big f’ing deal. We’re talking about reducing the opportunities for passing the virus along at the tournament by a few orders of magnitude.
