  And here is why you postpone things indefinitely instead of cancelling. - https://www.ozy.com/presidential-daily-brief/pdb-289408/?utm_term=OZY&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=PDB (2020-03-16 11:42:33)#article289438 Starting human trials of a COVID-19 vaccine in Washington.

  Lol he made this decision a year ago. Don’t set yourself up for a letdown thinking he will return. - I think we all know that here though.

  If KU wins the Big 12 tournament, they are a lock for the #1 overall seed. If they don’t win the Big 12 tournament, they are still a #1 seed, and probably no worse than the second overall #1. There just isn’t a ton of incentive for KU this year. They can’t really improve their stock, and it will be very difficult for them to fall very far. KU is #1 in BPI, #1 in RPI, has a top 10 schedule and has a lot of Tier 1 wins. Let’s look at the other candidates for the #1 overall seed: Gonzaga. They don’t have another opportunity for a big win. Saint Mary’s is #38 in BPI. That’s the next best team in the WCC. Gonzaga would have to win the WCC, and do so in very convincing fashion, to even have a shot at the #1 overall, and they still probably come up short. As of right now, they would be the third overall seed, so they have work to do. Baylor. KU won the Big 12 regular season title by 2 games. That’s going to matter to the committee. Perhaps if Baylor can win the Big 12 tournament (and beat KU) they could have an argument for getting the #1 overall based on winning 2 of 3 against KU. But even then, KU is the second overall seed in that scenario (likely the only way they aren’t the #1 overall seed), unless Gonzaga wins every game in the WCC tournament convincingly. Dayton. KU owns a neutral court win over them, so like Gonzaga, they would have to win the A-10 by laying waste to the competition, and even then, KU has the head to head win. I don’t see how Dayton can leapfrog KU. Florida State. The only other major conference team with a chance at the #1 overall seed, IMHO. Maryland has too many losses. They would need to win the ACC tournament, and would probably need to do so through the most challenging path available (wins over Clemson, Duke and either Louisville or Virginia). Even then, that probably doesn’t boost their resume enough for the #1 overall, regardless of what KU does. In this rare instance, it actually makes sense to rest guys. There isn’t anything to gain, and there is a ton that could be lost. Rest everyone you can and get ready for next week.

  @dylans said in If appeal fails, KU could be facing postseason ban, coaching suspensions, other penalties: N.C. State is further along in the appeal process than KU. It filed its response to the NCAA months ago, and the NCAA in early February filed its response to N.C. State’s response. The NCAA’s enforcement staff was not persuaded by the arguments made by the N.C. State attorneys, who are from the same firm that’s representing KU. NCAA Enforcement staff vehemently disagreed with the case the Bond, Schoeneck & King firm laid out. In particular, the NCAA forcefully argued that it could use evidence from the federal fraud trial as sufficient corroborating evidence to justify sanctioning N.C. State. ya heard that too. Also they said this is different then the whole FBI thing and that the NCAA didn’t have to prove nearly as much as things went down in the FBI They have the phone calls that they can use here , they have the texts. - -That YES they can and will use against us in our case. On local Sports programming yesterday they stated that Coach Townsend is one that could be in some really trouble , more then Coach Self. Talking about Coach might be looking at like possible 6 game suspension and Coach Townsend possibly with a 10 year thing ( Show Cause ) - -I forget what the hell it’s called. No doubt there will be a post Season ban at some point - - just when will that be they said because of the appeal and such. Talked about actually KU response was pretty flimsy but that KU had to give some kind of response & pretty much how KU was denying everything about the Basketball program BUT throwing the football program under the bus responding that YES every violation about the football program was true. - -bottom line is there will be sanctions period of some sort, might as well be ready for it - - -cause IT IS coming to some extent , whatever it is only time will tell. - I’m just ready for this whole dam mess to be over with.
