NCAA Tournament

[New York Knight]

NCAA announces it will have ALL the rounds of the NCAA Tournament in one spot, likely Indianapolis, this season.

[New York Knight]

The NCAA is now in preliminary talks with State of Indiana and the city of Indianapolis to potentially host the entire 68-team NCAA tournament around the metropolitan area during the coordinated dates in March & April.

Makes no seance, this is silly you could have it at 2 locations just as easy as one and it would lighten the burden of just 1 location. Test before every game and quarantine covid positives and it would be fine. Over reaction just like all the public reaction. No Fans makes this easy.

already got notice that the tickets I purchased back in February for March Madness, 2021 (at Barclay's Center) had been cancelled
