Great Points. Here's an interesting, related tidbit...


I found this on ESPN about the cancellations of spring championships.

"Are all spring sports canceled?

Not officially, at least not yet. The NCAA announced the cancellation of all spring championships, including the College World Series and Women's College Series, but it did not address regular season competition. As of Thursday evening, the following conferences had publicly announced the suspension of spring athletic competition: ACC, American, Atlantic Sun, Big 12, Big South, Big West, Conference USA, Colonial, Missouri Valley, Mountain West, NEC, Southland, Summit, Sun Belt, SWAC, WAC. Most of the suspensions were either for the equivalent of "until further notice," as the Pac-12 phrased its action, or through at least the end of March. Additionally, America East, Big East, Big Ten, Ivy League, MAAC, MEAC, the Patriot League and Stanford, independent of the rest of the Pac-12, announced the complete cancellation of all spring seasons.

Chip here, again.

The ACC's statement read “The Atlantic Coast Conference has suspended all athletic related activities including all competition, formal and organized practice, recruiting and participation in NCAA championships until further notice.”

That "might" explain why the softball schedule shown on HokieSports shows "suspended" beside every future game and the ACC tournament but "cancelled" beside the NCAA Regionals, Super Regional, and College World Series."

Sounds like there might be a sliver of hope of playing the ACC games.

Of course, it could also be wishful thinking on my part.
