SEC, C-USA done for rest of 2020 season due to Coronavirus

Everything is canceled, not really, but almost everything is canceled as the Coronavirus continues to pose a serious threat to athletes and fans alike.

It all started Wednesday night in Oklahoma City where Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert was diagnosed with the virus prior to tip-off, leaving the NBA no choice but to suspend play indefinitely.

The National Hockey League followed suit as did Major League Baseball by canceling spring training and delaying the start of the regular season by at least two weeks.

Finally, a huge blow to the NCAA who’s decided to cancel March Madness altogether, as a part of its decision to cancel all winter and spring sports including the entire college baseball season and the road to Omaha for the College World Series.

The NCAA mandate has effectively ended the career of every college senior basketball, baseball, and softball player among other sports, unless the governing body grants those students some sort of exception.

Mississippi State just swept Texas Tech in a two-game series at MGM Park this week and as it turns out those were MSU’s last two games of the entire year.

The Bulldogs were also slated to tip-off the SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament on Friday. That will obviously no longer happen.

Southern Miss baseball, Ole Miss baseball, all of these programs shutting it down following an unprecedented decision by the NCAA.
