If you're sitting around a table at a bar, having a few drinks with friends and somebody asks: What would shut down all sports for weeks or months? I think the answers would include things like War or a natural disaster like a hurricane or an earthquake. Having a Virus shut down all sports is something out of Hollywood and not something I ever expected.
The billions of dollars that March Madness generates - gone.
Spring Training and Opening Day for MLB - suspended.
A new Spring football league (XFL) that needed more weeks to see if it was going to be a legit business - gone
PGA's Players Championship - gone
Miami was going to open a new stadium on Saturday for its new MLS team - Suspended
Big Ten Tournament - cancelled
Big Ten Baseball - Cancelled
NHL Suspended
NBA Suspended
What happens to Seniors? X and Teske have played their last games at Michigan.
Michigan Baseball is just getting started and now its not. Hopefully, they will allow them to play longer into the summer.
Michigan Football's spring practice was set to begin and now its not. I assume the NCAA will allow them to practice later in the Spring/Early Summer.
A sports TKO.
I don't have the answers but I do agree you have to side with safety. I just feel really bad for all the college athletes that won't get their Championship Tournaments or seasons back. Pro sports will go on at some point.
