In reply to: How will the NCAA or all sports in general posted by fourputtmd

Ultimately, the Owners, Commissioners, Presidents, Athletic Directors & Coaches will not have a say in where & when sports will come back & when. That is up to individual jurisdictions. MLB, the NBA & the NFL have been gung ho to get going, but Mayors & Governors have already said that the White Sox, Cubs, Giants & As won't be having games. & most of the plans I've read about, including Baseball & Basketball include no fan participation. I just don't see the possibility of having fans @ games in the Fall. The Budesliga started today & it was eerie, somewhat painful and completely bizarre to watch without fans. The experience just isn't the same. It's like watching 6 year olds & kind of made me wonder, wtf is the point???
