I have a feeling they are going to be a trendsetter, which really does suck.
Get used to it . I think it will be a repeat of last year. The Omicron variant is way more contagious and looks like it will dominate in the future. The good news is that it appears to be way less lethal which may be a blessing in disguise.So, today alone, this the list of games that were originally scheduled and have been either postponed or outright canceled:
Iona vs #16 Seton Hall
#18 Tennessee vs Memphis
#23 Colorado State vs Tulsa
Grambling at Tulane
DePaul at Northwestern
UCF vs Florida State
Penn State at VCU
UT-Martin at Evansville
Rider at Rutgers
Lehigh at Syracuse
AND 4 women's games:
VCU vs Tennessee State
St Bonaventure at Robert Morris
Eastern Michigan at IUPUI
Canton at Albany
That is not good.
I'm afraid you are probably right. This is just the leading edge of the omicron variant and the number of cases is breaking records already. I wonder if students will return to campus after the break.Get used to it . I think it will be a repeat of last year.

I'm not a gambling man, but I would have to assume the players that are out from week to week in not only the NFL, but also day to day in the NBA, NHL and NCAA is really making it difficult on the people that set the betting lines. Are bettors able to request refunds or cancel if a guy is all of a sudden ruled out just before a game? I don't know how that works.NFL is a mess too. I imagine a pause is coming with the amount of players in protocol each week.
They’re already starting to see it subside in South Africa, it’s fair to think so.I don't know that there is any other city/area that can do it like Indy. The proximity of all the hotels, the facailities, the walkways, etc. The city is just designed perfectly for a massive event like this. Having a professional football stadium with a roof is pretty much a necessity. I really can't think of another city that has all of that, plus all within just a few miles of each other (obviously Mackey Arena and Assembly Hall aren't right there, but they were just used for early round games).
Here's a question...with how damn fast this variant seems to infect everybody, is there a possibility that it comes & goes before the NCAA Tournament? I mean, it has infected so many people already and got here only a short time ago.
