If they are going to try and play games with no, or limited, fans they will need to try and offset the lost revenue since BB is such an important revenue stream to so many schools. I could definitely see Siena and others go to a PPV option for games.

What would the ARC hold during this, 1000?? I think you missed the point of the ARC discussion - IF NO FANS ARE ALLOWED - emphasis on the NO fans number - if fans are allowed the TUC would make more sense as social distancing would be much easier to implement while maintaining a rather "normal" sized crowd - we might even get actual bodies in the arena count vs the old seats sold count...in any case, I wont be there as I'm too old, have family, and don't trust all of the fans that would come in... No, I got it. Just that yesterday Singelais wrote an article about how Siena came up with a contingency plan AT the TUC if fans are allowed, so i figured you'd be talking about that "what if." IF no fans are allowed, you'd be hardpressed to find one poster that thinks we'd actually play at the TUC instead of the ARC. The tough decision is the one Mark bought up. Do we play at the TUC in front of 3500? Or the ARC in front of 800-1000? Money is always the bottom line, so it would be interesting to see which makes the most financial sense for our program.

TUC in front of 4K spread out is better in my opinion

TUC is the better option. Among other things, the kids chose Siena to play in the TUC before larger crowds, not to play in a high school gym albeit an upscale high school gym. A better venue than most MAAC sites, but not optimal.
In any case, I don't see fans in attendance a sure thing at this point.

Unfortunately I’m not very optimistic that there will even be a game played this season. I’m not so sure. We’re having MLB & NBA so if they can play those games they can easily play college basketball. It all depends on if the ncaa and colleges want to try and figure it out or not. I’m still holding out hope there will be college basketball (just maybe no fans till January). I get pro sports but it’s not the same, I’m having doubts that campuses will be able to successfully keep CV in check and remain open. If they go completely remote again in the fall or spring semesters all sports will most likely be canceled.

I see a marlins game is being postponed due to a cv outbreak amongst the team.
If it keeps up it’s only a matter of time before winter college sports are cancelled

No season is becoming the only option.

Papi is the reason you say what you say is that they can't protect the players?

When did flatten the curve become eliminate the curve? This isn't going anywhere so if you're so terrified, then by all means stay squirreled away. The rest of the people need to keep living life. If you're putting all your eggs in a vaccine basket you may be sorely disappointed. A friend's mom works at a local healthcare facility. They switched testing companies and bam! most people tested positive. They reran the tests and some of those folks tested negative...then positive again. They switched back to the old testing company...and still mixed results. As a nurse I know indicated...the quick tests are crap. The only reliable test is the really intrusive nasal test. Those aren't quick or painless. The data is totally hosed. Not saying a conspiracy, just that the testing data isn't accurate. Additionally, the HCQ and possibly an inhaled steroid do have positive results.
So, yes, people are going to test positive...some of that will be real, some not. Either way, generally, people in good health will have minimal effects. The point was always to prevent everyone from catching the virus at the same time, not to prevent everyone from catching it at all.

Flatten the curve did not mean plateau it...the intent was to gain control (as in stop the spread) of the virus, not eliminate it (no idea yet how to eliminate it)...controlling the virus was needed to not overwhelm critical care resources...controlling the virus was needed to buy time for development of therapeutics/vaccines...controlling the virus requires accurate testing of everyone, quick results, isolation of those that tested positive and contact tracing...once those measures take effect the curve will head down aka the NY State history...no conspiracy, just plain old science...science, BTW, proven in our state and ignored or short cutted in other states...good health does not guarantee minimal results...children do get sick, some very sick and some die...the impact on children lagged adults since our young children were safeguarded early on and, for the most part, only started going out into the community as things started reopening...masks were a scarcity when the virus hit and the extent was not known and hoarding was feared leading to the "masks are not needed" early statements that anti-maskers love to quote out of context (I recall having an N95 mask and was embarrassed wearing it to the market)...early data was skewed since testing was not available, only those with symptoms were evaluated, those that died at home or nursing homes were not autopsied...data is hosed because we lack a consistent national policy - had we had one in April, things would be much different now...contrary to your view I do believe our medical community is working to prevent us from catching the virus UNTIL we can treat it and/or be immunized via a vaccine...sounds like you'll accept serious illness/death within your own circle of family and friends, seeing it as folks just "living life"...maybe we should just fill the schools, fill the stadiums, fill the TUC, inject the economy by buying fleets of refrigerated morgue trucks, and live life to its fullest finally being freed from the dreaded MASK...open the bars those 20-30 year olds need to head out and hope to get "lucky"...
