The folks you have to feel sorry for are the broadcast production crews who are getting off an airplane only to be holed up in a truck with a dozen other people just in from some other airport coming in from who knows where for three or four hours at a time for the program. That alone makes me think they should just shut down the show.

I am sure it will get delayed/cancelled by end of day today.

Duke just announced they will suspend all athletic competitions. We're hours, if not minutes away from the NCAA announcing the same thing.

A bit of good news out of this. Spectra Food Services, Greenville, NC coliseum’s contracted concessionaire where the ACC basketball tournament was to be held donated 1500 lbs of food to their local food bank.
