SportsBeat KC: Missing a Final Four, and was Trump too optimistic with commissioners?
The weekend wasn’t without sports news. The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame announced its class and it was studded with stars like Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant (posthumously), along with familiar-to-KC coaches Eddie Sutton and Kim Mulkey. That announcement is typically made during Final Four weekend, but there was no such occasion this year amid the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
Star columnists Vahe Gregorian and Sam Mellinger join SportsBeat KC host Blair Kerkhoff on this episode of our daily podcast in remembering great NCAA championship games. They also try to interpret the message from President Trump to commissioners of the major leagues about when sports might return to action. Trump said he believed the NFL season could start on time in September. What has to happen for that to become reality?
