[Creed Bratton]

He says if they have another year without the income from the tournament they can't survive.

Probably why they already came out and said there would be a tournament this upcoming season. In a time of so many questions its rare to talk in absolutes, but they seem dead set on making it work regardless of how covid will bother the plans

Did you really have to use the word dead?

 

[TFCats11]

It’s going to depend on if 80%+ choose to take the “vaccine” or not by then. It’s literally that simple.

 

[Creed Bratton]

If it means the downfall of the NCAA then Bill Gates and his vaccine can suck it.

 

[rick64]

So what's the down side if there's no NCAAT....

 

[BlueBomb]

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I hope the NCAA doesn't disappear...yet.

If the NCAA is gone that means that all the cheating by UofL, Kansas, LSU, etc, etc, etc. will go unpunished. I can't stomach that. I hope the NCAA sticks around long enough to bring the hammer down and for those cheaters to have to serve their time. Then, the NCAA can fold and I won't care.

**** coach K.

as of right now there is no vaccine to take
i am hopeful they get one soon

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan]

**** coach K.

Agree completely

Went for a physical and my doc seems to really think a vaccine will be available the first of the year.

i read where Oxford is very close
from day one the greatest minds in the world have been working on this, at some point they will get a vaccine

 

[Mulder14]

If k could just ask the person or persons that funded Zion to Duke maybe it could last one more year!

 

[hotelblue]

so on top of everything else, they’re not very good with money. surprising. can’t they cut jobs and salaries etc like every other company trying to survive. how can you net over a billion a year and be bankrupt within a calendar year?

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

Get the bubble ready. Kentucky Invitational Tournament.

 

[O'boro Cat]

The NCAA may die, but Mark Emmert and his cronies will still get their tens of millions in salaries and bonuses.

Wasnt supposed to be any correlation to covid in my word choice

I agree but it will probably only br 50-70 percent effective and the rollout will take a lot longer than folks are hoping for.

K knows he doesn't have too many left in him. I don't blame him for fighting to get back on the court.

They probably will go unpunished anyhow. UNC ring a bell?

I know Yay, just some light hearted banter with this hell we are in.

 

[Random UK Fan]

P!ss on coach k.

@BBUK

 

[Cowtown Cat]

There will definitely be a tournament this year now. When King Rat speaks, the NCAA listens. It is what it is.

Operation Warp Speed

Trump is sending the military in to fast track it. This isn’t going to end well, for either side.

No way there’s CBB in 2020.

 

[BigBlue1992]

I don’t give a rats ass whether there’s a vaccine or not. I’m not taking it. Just won’t be another tournament far as I’m concerned.

 

[Seth_C]

If banks can need a government bailout and airlines get free cash about a month into covid, do you really expect the NCAA to be any better?

 

[Gassy_Knowls]

So will the vaccine improve the 99.6% survival rate to a 99.9% survival rate?

 

[Creed Bratton]

To be fair banks and air travel are detrimental to the US and World economy.....the NCAA not so much.

 

[Creed Bratton]

No, only if a certain political party wins the election will that happen.

 

[MethodUK]

They can't go two years in a row without the tournament. Already took a massive hit financially last year.

I think people that had their heads buried are finally realizing that colleges are funded by athletics. Not academics... Too much $$ at stake.

When the vaccine comes out our military will be the first to receive. Just like every other vaccine. We will all know the time-line for the vaccine release by November... will bet $100 on that

Anyone with 2 brain cells to do 10 minutes worth of research should say the same!

Millions of Americans are about to get a doomsday switch injected in to them, and they have no clue, because they want their sports back. SMDH

Lol, just CRAZY people can’t see what’s going on!

Oh well, inject that BS if you want. It will be their demise. I’m going to sit back and say, I told you so!

what cuts have they made?

I am sorry but I don't give a rats ass what the Rat Faced Bastard has to say !

 

[kb22stang]

They'd figure it out. More gaslighting from a guy who will put his players at risk so he can add to his win totals.

May I ask what exactly it is you think is in that vaccine?

 

[TFCats11]

They shutdown the world’s economy, have people social distancing and wearing ridiculous mask, just to get everyone acclimated to getting it. The contents for it were ready to go early last summer (2019).

Trump is sending our own military to give it to people later this fall/ winter. That’s all you need to know. If you’re further intrigued beyond that, look up...

I think Coach K is right. Maybe we should cancel the tournament just to see the NCAA go belly up.

College basketball is heading that way; It’s fate of many amateur leagues. A couple teams start paying players, becoming professional or semi-proffessional, giving them an advantage over the amateur teams. Eventually the professional teams will be booted out and form their own league, or force the league to become fully professional.

Bill Gates admitted up to 80% will have side affects. So say you gave it to all 7.8 billion people, that is 6,240,000,000 people with side affects. Far more than are dying of covid. THAT IS AFTER 1 DOSE. How many will have side-affects after 2 or more doses? Can’t y’all see Bill Gates is a paychopath?
