The Big Ten is shutting EVERYTHING down

From my Inbox...

The Big Ten Conference announced today that in addition to the Men’s Basketball Tournament it will be canceling all conference and non-conference competitions through the end of the academic year, including spring sports that compete beyond the academic year, and participation in all NCAA tournaments and competitions. In addition, the Conference has announced a moratorium on all on- and off-campus recruiting activities for the foreseeable future.

The Big Ten Conference will use this time to work with the appropriate medical experts and institutional leadership to determine next steps for moving forward in regard to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The main priority of the Big Ten Conference continues to be the health, safety and wellness of our student-athletes, coaches, administrators, fans and media as we continue to monitor all developing and relevant information on the COVID-19 virus.

Oh my gosh! This really stinks! Could you imagine if this season would have been the one (instead of a few seasons ago) that our mbasketball broke thru to get into the ncaa tourney? How terrible would that have been. It is really sad for all the teams that would have gone and played in this season's tourney! Rutgers for example hasn't been to the dance since 91'! They were a sure lock to go this year! Sad for all the young fellows that had their hopes cancelled. But all the same, I believe it had to be done all things considered. A wise decision made.
