I'll take a shot at answering his questions.

What happens if the tournament is cancelled?
The Regular Season championship gets the auto-bid. The NCAA made each conference detail to the NCAA how their autobid would be awarded in the case of no conference tournament. The possibility of the Regular Season Champion being awarded the autobid makes the last second decision to go to a divisional set-up more of a head scratcher.

What happens if one tournament game is postponed?
Easy. If a tourney game is unable to be played, the game is declared a forfeit by the team that caused the issue. If both teams are equally responsible that line is left blank and the next opponent simply advances. There just isn't enough time to worry about rearrangement. Either you play or you are out.

Should this even be happening?
I don't know the answer to this either. But if sensible precautions are taken, then IMO yes it should be.

What happens if (regular season) games are not made up?
Nothing. This is C-USA after all where inaction until imperative is the mantra.

What is the appropriate way to feel?
This is certainly a stupid question...Let me see if I can think of a suitably stupid answer. Nope. Note the author didn't actually answer this either. There is no appropriate way to feel about this situation. He seems to be boiling this down to this inaction and reactivity is only happening this year because of the virus. He is either unaware or discounting that this lack of leadership by the conference office has not been limit to this year. Just ask Marshall about being higher ranked (BCS) and hosting Houston in the football championship game as the rules set forth years ago. (For those wondering, the conference office ignored those rules and put the game in Houston, because the Cougars were a higher profile team that season...what the rules and numbers actually said be damned.)

What is the appropriate way to feel? Lol what an awful article
