Let me show you a little something to indicate how fluid this March Madness situation is:

I think Olbermann is right.

  • The linked report now adds the Big West as the second conference (after the MAC) to go fanless for it's tournaments.

Here's the men's sites:
  • Dayton, OH for the First Four -- significant number of cases in Ohio, enough to cause several state universities to join the list of schools going to remote education.
First two rounds pods:
  • Spokane, WA:  Governor is about to ban all gatherings above 250 people, including sports, in three other Washington counties hard-hit by the virus.  Spokane not affected at this time, but there's still about 8 days to go.
  • Albany, NY:  Appears to be unaffected at this time, but a lot of stuff going on around New York City suburbs themselves.
  • St. Louis, MO:  Nothing there.
  • Tampa, FL:  Big meeting tomorrow Thursday, discussing the future on major events in Tampa.  (The WWE and the wrestling world are also watching this meeting -- Wrestlemania.)  Several cases already reported in Tampa.
  • Greensboro, NC:  Nothing there.
  • Omaha, NE:  Ditto.
  • Sacramento, CA:  The Bay Area is lighting up over this -- so much so that the Mayor of San Francisco has all but ordered the Warriors to cancel their remaining home games this season.  And if they don't, it's not a matter of "if", but "WHEN".
  • Cleveland, OH:  See Dayton.
Regional sites:
  • Los Angeles, CA:  Several cases around LAX.  Several more in the suburbs and exurbs.  Not much word how far it's going. 
  • Indianapolis, IN:  Just wrapped up the Horizon League tournament, but semi-see the previous Ohio discussions.
  • Houston, TX
  • And...  NEW YORK CITY
Final Four in Atlanta.

Is there any conceivable way you can think, right now, this tournament can go off?
