That's just wanting Duke to think they pulled the plug. The ACC was pressured because the SEC, BIG, PAC 12, and Big 12 just cancelled their tourneys.

It appears that for once Duke, the acc and the ncaa did the right thing. They were first to bail, but had the acc not acted other schools would have shut down.

The NBA had players getting sick and spreading the virus.

Can you imagine trying to play a serious game with half the Nuggets team quarantined?

The west coast is also getting hit pretty hard. Any team from an area already being greatly affected is at a competitive disadvantage. By suspending the season, they allow for the possibility of restarting after the pandemic wanes.

But cancelling events in the as-yet-unaffected areas of the country is simply making the virus work harder and take longer to spread.

Ergo, the 'Wane' is still a long time from happening.

Perhaps the medical experts at Duke informed them of the

medical facts about the virus and they were smart enough to listen to the experts - imagine that.

Not once in that article does it mention anything about

consulting any Duke 'medical expert'. If you want to say they wanted to err on the side of caution, or if you want to say it was a knee jerk reaction, either or both of those would be applicable. The only thing that article says definitively is that the NBA facilitated the move by Duke. I assure you, if Duke physicians had anything to do with it, they would have been sure to play that card.
