I appreciate Coach K for pointing out the players from the schools that don't make the tournament often and who finally won their way in, only for it to be taken away from them. Signed, A Hofstra Fan

Same with Rutgers. The men's team hadn't been to March Madness since 1991 and they were finally going to qualify in 2020. Thankfully they did make it in 2021.

Why not, in the summer, bring back all those rosters, and have the tournament in like August? I know some guys are in NBA/overseas/graduated, but you allow them to return. You bring whatever rosters you can re-assemble (minimum 8 players) and have the March madness 2020, in August 2022.

@ckhound1 3 года назад

Idk, this just strikes me as a bit weird. Like people have died in the last year, and yet we are hearing people talk about how they wish the tourney had just continued. Like, understandably it sucks for these athletes and their draft stock, and also just their competitive edge. But the way this looks, it just looks callous to the actual struggles going on that would consume the nation, especially in the medical field. Also along those same lines, the struggles that educators had to go through, just trying to teach children without infecting them with something, and keeping themselves safe. I love sports, dont get me wrong, but it isnt necessary for anything.
