At baseball regionals.

Seriously, what actual good does that do?

I mean, you can not "social distance" in a half full stadium.

If you are really worried then limit it to 25%. This is all just showing we "care".

I'd say 50% is probably the max some regionals will draw anyway. Look at the sites. You think Gonzaga, Pitt, Charlotte, Notre Dame, Stanford, or Louisiana Tech will every fill more than about half of their stadium anyway?

Granted, 4 of the pre-determined sites will fall off the list, but I think we all know that those 4 schools will all be located in the south. No way will they pass up the opportunity to award host sites to schools in the northeast, midwest, and northwest.

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)

Fair enough. But it shows zero critical thinking. Or common sense.

Either restrict attendance so you can social distance or do not restrict it at all.

Sorry, as a doc this pisses me off.

But so will admit that came from announcers on the Mo State/Ill state baseball game on ESPN2.

And they may be wrong.

No reason to expect critical thinking or common sense in dealing with covid.

Listening to these announcers is brutal.

All they have done is talk about how it is not fair that the SEC gets in teams with .500 conference records over the "little guy".

Even the mindless buffoon in the White House has taken his mask off. It's time for the big boys to abandon the NCAA. They provide nothing and just restrict the successful programs.

Yes, it's past time for that to happen.

Governor Lockdown of. California and Governor Senior Murderer of New York both are jeopardy of removal from office. Maybe we need a NCAA-ectomy??!

Let's be honest: even the $150 million the NCAA spends on its administration is arguably poorly spent on folks who don't deserve it.

I think most of us that frequent this board see more as the College Baseball/Softball Board so we'll discuss things not directly Aggie related in these two sports. I'm sure a few of us here will continue to follow and occasionally comment here about the postseason through the CWS.

At this point, all that'd do is fill it with LSU fans.

With the NCAA opening up their tournaments to 100% and Abbott's executive order preventing limits in the very near future, there is little reason to restrict attendance other than bureaucratic excuses.

UCLA and Washington are only allowing family members in to watch the softball regionals.

I'm hearing CWS will have no attendance restrictions for the 2021 tourney. Perhaps that has already been discussed.

Thats essentially the content of the link I added. They should have made full attendance a requirement for regionals.

It's pretty amazing how distinguishable red and blue states are now.
