Apparently the retraction was to allow student affairs to make the official announcement- no fans at the kcac until Feb 14th. But non iup events will continue, ok
Concerned about athlete safety ... yet the team is going to what will be a near sold out Morrow Field House in a couple days.
They are talking out of both sides ... and their backend. Mainly their backend.
What's the magic plan come Feb. 14? Had they had a plan to begin with they wouldn't need a new magic plan.

The AVP people withdrew the email announcing it that they issued earlier. I'd say it is still under consideration but someone is having a rethink about the details.

Slippery Rock has lifted its ban on fan attendance just in time for IUP's visit this Saturday.
They must want the big gate. What a concept.
Well, IUP fans ... hit the road this Saturday. It's not the teams fault. It will be a nuthouse up there on Saturday.

Say what you will about the perceived 'rivalry' with Slippery Rock in basketball. But, one thing is for sure. No team sells more tickets in Indiana on a yearly basis than SRU.
Granted, there are the years when the stooges at the home office schedule this game over break and campus is dead. Those games are not listed below but still all got around 1,300.
But, here are the last 8 non-break games played in Indiana:
Year KCAC Attendance 19-20 3,582 18-19 2,699 16-17 2,369 14-15 2,112 13-14 3,126 12-13 3,151 12-13 (PSAC Championship) 2,652 11-12 2,942
Average - 2,829
So, congrats to the brain-trust at IUP. Great decision to block fans from attending when the next game is the biggest gate of the year.
No need for all that ticket money, over-priced concession money, etc.
No need to do a probationary game. No need to limit seating to every third row with two seats in between fans. No need to think outside the box.
Onward (or, downward) to 6,000 students.
The KCAC and IUP didn't do A SINGLE THING to enforce masks being worn all season other than read a public service announcement at halftime (when nobody is in their seats anyway). I was at every home game. Not a single time did I see anybody ask anybody to either put a mask on or lift it to cover their face. Not. Once. When rules aren't enforced, they aren't followed.
WHAT A DEBACLE.
How much longer until Driscoll is out of here? Move the games to Indiana High School or just give up the home games and play on the road. At least then the fans could still watch in person.
SAD DAY FOR IUP

...if only the rural counties had lower rates of spread.....it wouldn't be an issue
The case count has dropped 50% in the last two weeks here in Chester County.

Its only a 2 week pause for Fans. This is only for IUP events. Day late and a dollar short. if students would have gone on-line for the first two weeks we'd be in a better place, probably. But someone thought students wouldn't return. Now we have this. From the message I received, part of the decision was because of the mass non-compliance with regard to masks. But given the students live together, eat together and have parties - all without masks, I'm not sure it will matter much.
Two weeks is a major blow on Feb. 1. That would mean no fans for the SRU and Cal games -- two of the most highly-attended games of the year. Makes a lot of sense for a broke school to turn away all that money.

IUP reported 88 cases last week -- 36 of which live on campus.
The outcry regarding basketball attendance is students don't even attend the games. Last night the pep band, cheerleaders and dance teams didn't partake. On a given night, you 'might' have 100 students in the stands.
No denying very few inside the KCAC have followed the mask requirements. But, IUP has done absolutely nothing to enforce anything, either.
Do an experimental game before shutting it down. Wear the mask or your ejected. Put warning signs all over the place.
It's going to be an interesting backlash. Many of IUP's 'heavy hitters' in the community are huge basketball supporters with a ton of political poll. The old prez is playing with fire here.

Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View PostWhile not official, word on the street is last night was the last game this season IUP will be allowed to have fans in the KCAC.
The you-know-what is going to hit the fan today when this announcement drops.
Awful decision by President Titanic.
