Corona Virus And Playoff Games

[marty]

Here's Pollack's notification to the Cornell community.  Interestingly it doesn't say all athletic events will be cancelled, but rather that each member will be strictly limited to 3 guests per participant. So maybe there's a little hope that the games can continue.

So how do we expand the hockey roster to roughly 1000 players?

For how much are the players selling the guest passes?

It shouldn't be decided by price.  Instead, it should be decided based on commitment; there should be some sort of line that is formed and maybe a camp-out to see how long people are willing to stick around.

Oldest ticket stub.  I have one from 1981.  Jim may have one chiseled from marble.

I have half a ticket from the early 70's (vs Brown with the winning score in pen on the back). No Zappa tickets.

Even before logging in, and having seen no other news that past 90 minutes, I had an inkling that we were going to see the end of our sports seasons.  Just too many schools going to online only classes, and I'd heard Harvard was going to cancel their sports seasons. Trutfully hen Amherst and then the rest of the NESCAC started shutting down yesterday, it seemed only a matter of time.

If the remaining hockey season is cancelled, any chance players can get that year of eligibility back?

For the record, the Ivy League statement said individual institutions will get to decide on Winter sports seasons. Given how near the end is for both the Men's and Women's teams and assuming the NCAA still has the event in some fashion (whether it's in front of empty stadiums, etc.), I very much doubt we'll make the move to end those seasons.

I really wouldn't be counting on anything at this point.

It occurs to me that with Harvard out they should reseed.

7 Yale at 4 RPI
8 Colgate at 3 Quinnipiac
11 Princeton at 2 Clarkson
1 Cornell bye

Ah, shit.

lets just hope they keep playing

This is where I'm at. I'm all for drastic measures, and I think barring fans is the right move.

But playing the games in front of an empty crowd seems low risk enough.
