Just wondering why historymajor deleted his post from last night? I thought he made a good point.
When faced with a situation of considerable importance, why is it necessary to hastily make a decision? I left out wrong decision just so you would focus on the fact that the decision to cancel the game was made on Thursday afternoon.
I agree about being concerned for everyone's safety. That should be first and foremost, but let us deal with the full picture. DePauw's flights departed and arrived as scheduled. Would airlines risk flying if they did not feel it was in the better judgment to do so? No, they waited until they received further weather forecast and understood the movement and projected path to realize that the flight was safe.
San Antonio thrives on tourism. Why does that matter? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that there are over 180 hotels in the San Antonio area, and 24,726 hotel rooms in the City of San Antonio (27,728 in the San Antonio Metropolitan Area). I think the reservations would have held.
As for the tiebreaker argument, you must be from DePauw to think that it would be presumptuous to have a contingency plan in place. Most schools like to have their AQ parameters set in place. Although, if DePauw followed your wait-and-see attitude and waited until at least Friday to cancel we wouldn't be in this predicament.
