P.S.  How bent do you think Ionescu (and her fellow final-season players) are after the NCAA's decision?  That one has gotta hurt.

On the bright side, Ionescu's return for this season did allow her to win a P12 Tourney title, something that eluded her (and her teammates) last year . . .

I am sure it hurts deeply.  I know it hurts my daughter--seniors--particularly.  I don't wish the season ending this way on anyone. 

When Luck or Love came back to play for us when they could have gone pro, I admired that.  And so to be consistent I have to admire Ionescu.  I was pretty sure that my team would not win the national championship this year, but I sure as heck hoped that Oregon would defeat South Carolina or Baylor and/or crush UConn again.  They did not get the chance.

I completely support shutting the country down to avoid--if is is possible after all of the missteps--the fate of Italy, which is now triaging patients to die.  But I also feel deep sadness at all the lost opportunities and crushed dreams that have come out of today's decisions.
