Sure about that? I’m happy to make a significant wager that both finalists will have already played at least 3 games in the tourney. Name your number. You should be happy to take my money from me, right?

Not that confident but it would be funny if it happened and wouldn't surprise me if they follow the no replacement/reseeding

Yeah, had a feeling you didn’t believe your own words.

I believe it's a greater possibility than you think it is.

The NCAA is going to make sure they get paid this year no matter what.

If that means crowning a champion that only played 2 games so be it

So why not make some money off of me?

Man, this sure made it sound like you think it’s a sure thing. We really do have a problem with people lying through their teeth in this country. I know this sports comment isn’t a serious matter, but people’s willingness to constantly lie is. I’d encourage everyone everywhere to call out liars whenever you come across them.

If a team makes the finals only playing 1-2 games- that means something has really gone insanely wrong. I mean to a sad degree quite frankly....

It was an absurd statement by someone who didn’t even believe it themselves. A lie.

What's your problem?

If I had added a laughing face to the original post to illustrate my sentiment at the time would that have made your feelings less hurt there snowflake

I also don't appreciate being called a liar. What I said is a possibility and it wouldn't surprise me if it happend. The NCAA is going to get paid this year no matter what.

Sent you a PM so you can complain about me directly and not let whatever your problem is clutter up threads for others.

Regardless of what happens next month, the NCAA is going make sure they get paid. Even if that means crowning a champion that only won 1 to 2 games, however unlikely that may be

If things got that bad, the state of Indiana wouldn't allow it to continue.

I'll agree with your take: this tournament is getting played to its conclusion come hell or highwater. They're basically going to take the approach of the NFL: "There's a game getting played at this time and date. It's getting played even if you're down to using a 5th string quarterback off the practice squad or starting a 12th man walk-on point guard or else you forfeit. Good luck!"

Granted, I don't believe that this scenario is likely and, if it ever occurs, there are bigger issues to deal with than a basketball tournament. I just don't think there's any way that the NCAA is canceling a single thing at this point after having gone through this whole season already.

I'd like to believe you, but I know the State of Indiana well enough that this won't happen. The state just passed a COVID-19 liability shield for businesses a couple of weeks ago, so the NCAA may not even have a legal risk in that situation (much less any moral risk).

RE: NCAA Tournament times and withdrawal scenarios...
The NCAA tournament director, Dan Gavitt, answered some questions I asked awhile back in this thread:

-- As long as a team has at least 5 players, it's up to the team (or school) to decide whether to withdraw from the tournament for covid reasons.

-- There has been no decision as to whether a team could play if they have enough players but no coaches because of covid.

Quote:Billy Witz
@billywitz

On a media call, Dan Gavitt said it hasn't been decided what will happen if in the NCAA tournament if an entire coaching staff is out because of Covid. (Teams can remain in the tournament with at least 5 players to start a game.)

Gavitt also said the decision to remove a team b/c of Covid in the 48-hour window after the brackets are announced (when a team can be replaced) will be up to that school.
