If police catch Marco Milanese outside his family’s home in Isernia, Italy, during his 14-day quarantine, the University of Akron soccer player said he could be arrested and might face 12 years in prison.

Fellow UA defender Pol Hernandez is largely confined to his parents’ apart-ment and small backyard in Teia, Spain, where grocery shoppers must line up outside with only one patron allowed in at a time. Hernandez said he can’t accompany his mother on those trips, which he’s surrendered to her because she needs to get out during the corona-virus pandemic, and even dog walkers must go alone.

Speaking eight days after they arrived in Europe, both are adjusting to their country’s lockdowns, restrictions and shortages.

■ CORONAVIRUS: HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS

By Chris EasterlingThe Independent

Spring sports remain on hold at least until May 1, but the Ohio High School Athletic Association has informed athletic directors across the state in an email Tuesday that it is exploring several scenarios.

The email — a copy of which was obtained by The Independent

— also presents scenarios the OHSAA is looking at regarding summer and fall activities, depend-ing on how long the statewide shutdown remains in place because of the coronavirus pandemic.

“Since other events and activi-ties are not permitted by the current Governor’s orders, we collectively believe we can continue looking at abbreviated schedules for spring

sports,” the email from OHSAA executive director Jerry Snodgrass read. “While cancellation remains on the table with all other options, there are many factors that enter into possibilities. Availability of venues for any events, (Department) of Health guidelines and Governor’s orders are all part of the equation.

‘Worst-case scenarios’With spring on hold, OHSAA also looking to summer, fall

■ CORONAVIRUS: NFL

By Jarrett BellUSA TODAY

It was surely a sign that Sean Payton is getting back to normal in his recovery from a bout with the coronavirus — or cer-tainly stir-crazy — when the typically fearless coach took to Twitter on Sunday night and posted a few plays from the New Orleans Saints playbook to engage in a group conversation.

A coach from the most paranoid sports league ever created?

“I’m scrolling and saw a (non-NFL) coach put up a play, saying, ‘Put up an empty play and tag it.’ So, I drew one up, took a picture and put it up in the conversation,” Payton told USA TODAY Sports during a phone conversa-tion Monday — two weeks after he was struck with coronavirus symptoms.

“That took off and led to another, then another, then led to a little history about Jerry Rice. For the better part of an hour I had some fun. Then it was like, ‘I’ve got to get off here.’ It was almost 11 o’clock.”

For years, Payton, 56, has been one of the most compelling and engaging figures to talk to in NFL circles, largely because he has a way of wrap-ping his candor with wit and panache. Yet hearing Payton declare that he is “100% recovered” (and cleared by doctors) from coronavirus provided another type of context as he detailed informa-tion from the Centers for Disease Control that

he seemed as familiar with as, say, a play where Drew Brees has an option of throwing to Michael Thomas on a drag pattern or Alvin Kamara streaking on a seam route.

“I’m in that unique group that they believe can’t get it again this season and can’t give it,” said Payton, the only coach or high-ranking figure within the NFL known to test positive for COVID-19. “I’m waiting to hear if people like me are going to be able to give blood. I don’t know the specifics, whether that’s through a transfusion or plasma replacement. I know they’re looking to see if there’s a benefit to people who have had it and recovered from it and now maybe have the blood or the antibodies built up to help someone who has it. I’m waiting to hear if that’s the case and if it is, what’s the protocol and where do you go to give blood.”

The NFL is gearing up for a normal season and playoffs — with two addi-tional wild-card teams in the Super Bowl chase.

NFL team owners voted Tuesday to expand the playoffs by one team in each confer-ence for a total of 14 next season as they continue to plan for the 2020 season to begin on time.

During a conference call to discuss league business after the annual meet-ings were canceled due to the new coronavirus, the owners also awarded one of those extra games to CBS and one to NBC.

Three-fourths of the 32 owners needed to approve the change, and the vote was unanimous, football operations chief Troy Vincent said.

As for opening the season on Sept. 10 as scheduled, NFL lead counsel Jeff Pash said: “All of our focus has been on a normal traditional season, starting on time, playing before fans in our regular stadiums and going through our full 16-game regular season and a full playoffs.”

That would include the two stadiums still under construction in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, plus international games in England and Mexico.

“I expect that interna-tional games will be part of our schedule for this year,” Pash added.

■ Mount Union’s Mark Bruns makes a return during a match last season. Purple Raiders had their season cut short because of the coronavirus pandemic which shut down college sports.

By Mike PopovichThe Canton Repository

ALLIANCE Mount Union head coach Matt Mihelic walked away from a shortened 2020 season knowing his team exceeded expectations.

The Purple Raiders were 11-3 when the coro-navirus outbreak ended the season for college athletes nationwide.

They already had topped the 8-20 record they posted in their inau-gural 2019 season. They had a shot to win the Midwest Collegiate Vol-leyball league title and make the NCAA Division III tournament.

“I was hoping for a .500 season before we even started playing fall ball,” Mihelic said. “I thought we had some good play-ers coming into the year, some good freshmen who could help us out on the court right away. There was a good opportunity for us to win some games and compete against the better teams.”

The Purple Raiders won their first six games. As the season moved along, Mihelic believed pushing well into double-digit wins was a reality.

One day Mihelic and assistant coach Adam Hamad set their sights higher.

“We pulled down the schedule and went, ‘We’re going to try for this. We’re going to push for this. We’re going to try for a 20-win season,’ ” Mihelic said.

“We didn’t tell the guys that, but we were trying to push them so hard, work so well and do so many new things. We were trying to push for them to get 20 wins and earning those wins.

“I knew we were going to do better this year. I just didn’t know we were going to do so well.”

“We’re optimistic just as we expect condi-tions in the United States to permit playing a full season that that will be the case for our interna-tional partners as well. Obviously, that’s some-thing that we’ll have to work closely with the authorities, public health and other government authorities in those other countries to make sure it’s entirely safe.”

Contingencies are being discussed for all potential interruptions caused by the coronavirus.

As for the first expan-sion of the postseason field since 1990, when the NFL went from 10 quali-fiers to 12, only the teams with the best record in the AFC and NFC will get a bye under the new format; the top two teams in each conference skipped

wild-card weekend in the past. The seventh seed will play No. 2, the sixth will visit No. 3 and the fifth will be at the fourth seed for wild-card games.

Three games are set for Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 9-10 — pending the NFL schedule going forward as planned; that sched-ule likely will be released on May 9, according to Brian Rolapp, the league’s chief media and business officer, to give the NFL “flexibility.”

CBS will broadcast one of the new games on Jan. 10 at approximately 4:40 p.m. The game also will be available via live stream on CBS All Access. A sep-arately produced telecast of the game tailored for a younger audience will air on Nickelodeon.

NBC, its new stream-ing service Peacock and Spanish-language Tel-emundo will broadcast the other new game on Jan. 10 at approximately 8:15 p.m.

“It’s definitely going to be different,” Washing-ton Redskins linebacker Thomas Davis said. “It’s going to be weird. Essen-tially, the second team (in each conference) is being penalized for being a good football team.

“It just makes it more competitive, it adds more teams in and it allows teams that are hot late in the season like the Titans to be able to make a run — a team that might not normally be in the playoffs are getting that opportunity. I like it, though.”

Draft plansTeam presidents and

owners were advised of current plans for con-ducting the draft on April 23-25.

Peter O’Reilly, who oversees organization of major events such as the Super Bowl and draft, said all of the NFL’s prepara-tions have been designed

to “ensure the selec-tion process is sound.” That means equitable arrangements for every team; “celebrating and welcoming” draftees to the league; fan involve-ment “providing an escape for our fans and perhaps allowing vir-tual fan access”; and as a fundraiser for people and communities affected by the pandemic.

O’Reilly stressed that social distancing will be maintained, with no more than 10 people together, remaining at least six feet apart. Anyone who is ill will be kept away.

Commissioner Roger Goodell will make the first-round selection announcements from a central hub, and the telecasts will have con-nectivity at the 32 teams and potentially at some players’ or fans’ homes.

Vincent noted that the powerful competition committee is discussing a

potential one-shot exten-sion of the time limit on a draft slot so teams can complete a trade.

O’Reilly said Las Vegas, scheduled to host the draft this year, will get consideration for 2022; the 2021 draft will be held in Cleveland.

“2022 is an option for Las Vegas,” he said. “We need some time to work through that with Las Vegas and the Raiders, but that is something we are considering.”

This week, Vincent sent a letter to several pros-pects inviting them to participate “live” in the draft.

“We hope that you will start your NFL journey with us as part of the NFL family,” Vincent wrote. “At this time, we are working on the plan for draft. As you can imag-ine, it is a bit of a moving target with all that is going on.

“We are contemplating

several options that we will be communicating to you once details are confirmed. We want to ensure that you and your family stay safe while we develop the best way to give you a great experi-ence and highlight your accomplishments as you are drafted into the NFL.”

In recent drafts, first-round selections were announced by Goodell. Then followed hugs involving players and Goodell — some of them comical — and photo sessions with the play-ers wearing team ball caps or even showing off team jerseys. Often their families and friends would get involved in the celebrations.

This year, with all public events at the planned site of Las Vegas canceled and the draft set to proceed remotely, players will likely be at their homes when their names are called.

PLAYOFFSFrom Page C1

Payton spoke after finish-ing a conference call with his assistant coaches and other staff. Monday was technically his first day back to work — remotely, of course, as NFL team headquarters remain shut down — and he needed to speak with 25 to 28 staff members to address specifics of an email sent to the staff that outlined scheduling for their preparation for the NFL Draft.

The draft meetings that teams typically hold this time of year to, as Payton put it, “stack the board,” will be conducted on the same time-line and extend for roughly two weeks. Rather than being held in the war room at the headquarters, the meetings will take place via conferenc-ing. The Saints will begin those draft meetings today.

“For every one of these teams, it’s obviously going to be different than what we’re used to,” Payton said. “We’re going to need to be more tech-savvy with the scouts.”

Payton believes the Saints have done well in following up with draft prospects since the combine, with travel eliminated and the top-30 visits in which prospects visit team headquarters scuttled. They have leaned heavily on video conferences for follow-up interviews with prospects.

Summarizing his key mes-sage in an email sent to Saints players, which also acknowl-edged an offseason timeline that doesn’t include the usual organized team work-outs, Payton said: “First and foremost, take care of your families and yourself. That’s the message. All the other things are very small minutiae problems, compared to what we’re seeing on TV.”

Payton, engaged recently to Skylene Montgomery, said that no one else in his circle of family or close friends has been infected with COVID-19. His parents are deceased. Although he didn’t indicate whether his older sister and older brother had been tested, he said that they are “clean.” He also said there are no issues with either his daugh-ter Meghan, who is living in Los Angeles after graduating from Pepperdine, or his son Connor, a freshman at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth.

“Each day we hear of someone else — an athlete, a politician, or someone who is ordinarily newsworthy who has contracted the virus,” he said. “Look, as this thing hit the world, it obviously doesn’t have any boundaries in terms of who it can effect.”

Payton felt good enough on Sunday to go for a three-mile run, and he planned to do likewise Monday. He said the symptoms were at their worst two weeks ago, when he returned from a trip to Arkansas where he attended a racetrack and watched one of Bill Parcells’ horses per-form. He had flu symptoms, chills, aches and for one day, he said, a low-grade fever. After being tested on March 16, he said the worst of his

symptoms had subsided by the ime he received confir-mation of the test results on March 19.

“You fatigue real easy,” he described of the worst of his symptoms. “I’d be up moving around, doing something, then you’d want to lay down again. That lasted three or four days. By the time I got the test results back I had begun feeling better. I had my appetite back.”

Was there a particu-lar go-to meal that got him through the 14-day quarantine?

Payton pondered the question and went in several directions, including Italian cuisine, sandwiches and the like, that were delivered to his home. As he listed foods, his fiancée chimed in.

“Mexican,” Payton added. “We were all over the board. But I’ll say that, unfortu-nately, ice cream was a go-to with most of those meals.”

During his quarantine, he spent a lot of time on FaceTime with family and friends and watched plenty of Netflix. He even participated in a conference call with the NFL’s competition commit-tee in addition to tending to some organizational tasks. So, yes, he sprinkled in work. Having moved into his new home last fall, there was also a punch list of projects.

“You get a little stir-crazy, but really it was a lot of rest and recovery,” he said.

Payton knows. His condi-tion and recovery is such a contrast to people who have suffered immensely and the many who have lost lives. It clearly resonates when he think of the crisis beyond his personal situation — which happens to be in the middle of a “hot spot” for the outbreak.

“These are very difficult times,” he said. “I think this month of April is going to be our most challenging. You’re listening to all the experts talk about it, and for this country, this is going to be an extremely difficult month, not just in New Orleans, but New York, California, Michigan, Washington. As we’re sitting here, just the rate this thing is accelerating is alarming.

“It’s unfathomable how quickly this thing can take a life of its own where there’s population.”

Payton has no clue in nar-rowing down where he may have contracted the virus.

“Oh, my gosh,” he said. “Impossible.”

Still, in considering where he had been in the weeks since the NFL Combine, he clearly was in the vicinity of a few hot spots.

“If you didn’t travel and were in only maybe three controlled environments, it would be easier (to deter-mine),” he said. “But shoot, I was at Mardi Gras. After that, I was in New York City for a week, then down to Florida for three days and then back to New Orleans. I have no idea.”

At least Payton has turned a corner and can resume his normal duties — even amid uncertain times.

In that regard, he’s one of the lucky ones.

PAYTONFrom Page C1

“Under no cir-cumstances will we compromise the safety of student-athletes, coaches, officials, game workers or fans. Everyone in the schools is aware of the extremely fluid situa-tion and we will continue to update you as things change.”

The OHSAA, on March 12, originally set up a no-contact period for all sports through Monday. That coincided with Governor Mike DeW-ine’s initial shutdown of schools across the state in response to the pandemic.

On Monday, DeWine extended that shutdown of schools to May 1. The OHSAA announced on Twitter shortly after that it would comply with all directives, but that it would have further infor-mation Tuesday.

The email to school administrators Tuesday maintained that “no prac-tices or competitions may occur through this date (May 1).”

It also clarified the no-contact rule, by stat-ing that it was in no way meant to “discourage or prohibit electronic communication with student-athletes” but actually encouraged such communications.

Summer impact?While the immediacy of

the spring sports season was the primary mes-sage of the email, it also addressed the elephant in the room: Could this impact activity in the summer, as well as the fall.

“In the event activities are permitted to begin in June or July,” the email said, “we are looking at adjusting offseason regulations to expedite a return to school-based athletic programs.”

The email also indi-cated the possibility of adjusted fall schedules depending on the length of the shutdown. While it spoke with no definitive answers, it did indicate that “worst-case scenar-ios” were being examined for everything.

“Again, I feel it is incumbent for our staff to look at every ‘what if’ and be prepared,” the email from Snodgrass read. “In a worst-case scenario, if events/practices/train-ing are shut down during or through the summer, the reality exists that many of the thousands of student-athletes may lack any high-level physical training.

“We need to look at what serves our student-athletes best relative to acclimatization periods. I want to stress that we are PLANNING for worst-case scenarios by identifying all the challenges we could potentially face.”

BROWNS NOTEBOOK

Browns sign ClaybornNew Browns general manager

Andrew Berry has added another former first-round draft pick to the roster this offseason, and this one has a Super Bowl ring.

Veteran defensive end Adrian Clayborn agreed to a two-year, $5.75 million contract with the Browns on Tuesday, a person familiar with the situation confirmed. The contract, the source said, can reach $6.75 million with incentives.

Clayborn has been a rotational line-man for the past five seasons, so this move isn't expected to affect the fate of Olivier Vernon, whose future with the Browns is uncertain because he's scheduled to make a team-high $15.5 million in salary and bonuses in 2020 coming off a season in which he missed six games with a knee injury and pro-duced just 3.5 sacks.

If the Browns keep Vernon, they will have a defensive end stable featur-ing him, Myles Garrett, Clayborn and Chad Thomas. Their top defensive tackles are Sheldon Richardson, Larry Ogunjobi and Andrew Billings, who last week signed a one-year, $3.5 mil-lion contract to join the Browns.

Berry's haul in free agency has netted four former first-round choices: right offensive tackle Jack Conklin (Tennessee Titans, No. 8 overall in 2016); safety Karl Joseph

(Raiders, No. 14 in 2016); cornerback Kevin Johnson (Houston Texans, No. 15 in 2015); and Clayborn (Tampa Bay Buccaneers, No. 20 overall in 2011).

Last season with the Atlanta Fal-cons, Clayborn played in 15 games with one start and compiled 18 tackles, including four sacks, and two forced fumbles.

Clayborn, who will turn 32 on July 6, immediately became a full-time starter coming out of the University of Iowa and posted 7.5 sacks as a rookie with the Bucs. But injuries have been a theme for most of his career, most notably a torn anterior cruciate liga-ment in 2012 and a torn biceps in 2014. The last time he played in 16 games was in 2017, when he logged a career-high 9.5 sacks with the Falcons.

In nine NFL seasons, Clayborn has started 52 of the 110 regular-season games in which he's appeared, tallying 196 tackles, including 36.5 sacks, to go along with 10 forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries. He has also appeared in six playoff games with two starts.

Clayborn, listed as 6-foot-3 and 280 pounds, has spent four seasons with the Bucs, four with the Falcons and one with the New England Patriots, who got a sack and three quarterback hits from him in a divisional-round playoff game on Jan. 13, 2019, en route to a victory in Super Bowl LIII.

n CORONAVIRUS: BASEBALL

By Paul HoynesCleveland.com

Albert Belle has always been a numbers cruncher.

When he played for the Indi-ans, he’d crunch the baseball and then crunch his stats. Belle hasn’t played in the big leagues since 2000, but that hasn’t stopped him from playing with numbers.

Recently he was asked about how he prepared for the shortened spring training of 1995. The short spring was caused by a players strike. This year MLB players could go through the same kind of spring training because of the coronavirus that has delayed the start of the season.

Belle said it should take the play-ers about three to four weeks to get ready for the 2020 season. What he really wanted to talk about was what the adjusted regular-season schedule would look like. Opening Day was scheduled for March 26.

In an agreement last week between the owners and players, it was decided that the schedule will be picked up as-is whenever the regular season starts. Belle, how-ever, has another suggestion.

“I’m always crunching num-bers,” he said. “I think they should play a 112-game season. If they kick everything off on the Memo-rial Day weekend (May 25), that would be perfect.”

Belle’s plan would call for the schedule to be redrawn. MLB is not inclined to do that, but there is a possibility more regular-season games could be added onto the schedule in October with a revamped playoff format. The owners and players want to play as many games as possible if they’re able to get the season underway.

“You have 30 teams, 15 in the American League and 15 in the National League,” said Belle. “If each AL team plays each other four

times at home and four times on the road that’s 112 games. You’d have the same thing in the National League.

“Forget about the interleague play. Forget about the All-Star Game. Just play. You’d just have a mini-marathon. We could tweak the schedule, turn back the clock and have some fun with it.”

Belle thinks this would not only limit travel, but limit the players’ exposure to the virus.

“If you shoot for Memorial Day weekend, that will give the virus time to calm down,” he said. “Then you can just start having spring training at the end of May. Get everyone back and in the swing of things and get those 112 games in.”

Belle said there would be no trades, but teams could promote players from the minors in case of injuries or poor performances.

“Let’s say you play an eight-game series at home,” said Belle, “then you could go on the road and play those same two teams. You could keep travel down, keep player exposure down. It simplifies everything.”

In 1995, the Indians played 144 games after the short spring training.

They opened the season on April 27. No one knows when this season will open, which means the schedule, which is now done on computer, could be redrawn.

“You’ve got nothing but time,” said Belle. “I think for the players’ safety, and the fans, if everyone moves around less it would be good. Less exposure.”

It would also cut down the number of games teams play within their division. Under the original 162-game season for 2020, the Indians would play 19 games against their four division rivals.

“To me playing each other 19 times is overkill,” said Belle.

Belle’s ideasEx-Indian star comes up with numbers to use for 2020 season



here. I’m hoping we have enough. We’re not out,” Hernandez said Thursday via Skype from his home 15 minutes outside of Barcelona.

“Right now me and my family cannot go out because I could be a potential (infected) person,” Milanese said Thursday via Whats App. “They bring us groceries and all this stuff from the shop. They’re like, ‘Keep the bag, OK?’ Social distance. It’s like a movie, honestly, I’m starting to realize that. I’m not going to lie, it’s weird.”

After UA canceled classes March 10 and announced it was switch-ing to online courses, the dominoes fell quickly. The Mid-American Conference canceled its championships, then spring sports. Soon the Zips were barred from training on campus. An international travel ban loomed.

With the window closing and some play-ers having just 24 hours to book a flight and pack, Zips men’s soccer coach Jared Embick said five members of his team elected to join their families abroad. Three juniors are in the world’s top four hot zones, with Milanese and Federico Serra in Italy, Hernan-dez in Spain. Sophomore Henrique Cruz went to Fortaleza, Brazil, and senior transfer Hazem Sohby to Cairo, Egypt.

Embick said Serra, who flew with Milanese from Cleveland to New York to Rome, also had to take a train, bus and boat to get to Cagliari, Italy, on the island of Sardinia. Cruz had a nine-hour layover in Paris, an alarming wait as more and more flights were canceled.

Because Milanese and Hernandez had been receiving updates from Europe, both knew they had to travel with cau-tion. Hernandez said a trip to CVS the day before to buy a mask was futile, but he found one at the airport.

“I was surprised in Spain no one asked me, ‘Are you feeling good?’ or checked my temperature. They didn’t do anything,” Hernandez said.

Milanese was prepared, but he also worried about passing the virus to his family. He said he and his parents were most fearful of the two-hour train ride from Rome to Iser-nia, which sits midway between the country’s capital and Naples. No one was allowed to pick him up until he reached his town of about 22,000, even though he said there were no known cases of the virus when he arrived on March 18. (He said there were two as of Thursday.)

“Because I knew the situation was just starting in the United States, Chi-nese people and Italians, the two flights, we were wearing masks. It was the first day they closed Times Square, people did not realize what was happening,” Milanese said. “Chinese people were wearing like nuclear dresses. I was not that much, but I was like mask, gloves, hat. Plastic gloves. I had three pairs, after two or three hours I changed.”

No one knows when they will be able to return.

Milanese pointed out that if the Zips players are gone for more than five months, they will have to apply for new visas to return to the U.S. Her-nandez showed off the paperwork he had nearby.

“That’s August, I hope we’re back in Akron before that,” Hernandez said. “I try to stay posi-tive. I think that always

helps. I’m hoping that in July I’m going to be back in Akron practicing already.”

Embick said he is checking in with the international players every couple days, but the future is filled with uncertainty.

“They’re all in quar-antine themselves, not much doing. So far every-body’s safe, their families are safe, just hope it con-tinues,” Embick said by phone Wednesday. “The big concern everybody has is how long this is going to last. Then when they come back, is there quarantine time? Will they make it back in time for the fall?”

While at home, Mila-nese has become a taste tester for his brother Amleto, a chef currently unable to work because restaurants are closed, even for carryout. (His Facebook page is Chef Amleto Milanese; his Instagram Amleto Mila-nese Chef. The recipes he posts are in Italian, but Milanese messaged Sat-urday that he is starting to translate them.)

“Now he’s doing some online recipes. He cooks and I try his dishes,” Milanese said. “He’s the new wave of cooks. It’s not like traditional, he tries new things.”

Embick joked of Mila-nese, “The concern about him is eating too well.”

Embick wonders how the players outside the U.S. will stay in shape, especially the three in Italy and Spain who could get fined just for jogging.

“We’ve been sending them some workouts,” Embick said. “I hope we’ll be fine for the fall, but we’re going to figure out how to get ’em ready when they show up. Worse case our season is pushed back, hopefully not canceled, but I guess anything is possible.”

Milanese said he’s working out in the

mornings. Hernandez said he’s jumping rope every day and that might not be possible if not for the backyard because the noise would disturb the neighbors if he were inside.

“I want to go out, I want to see my friends, but I can’t. I can’t imag-ine people living in a small apartment, you don’t have the space to work out, you have to be on your little balcony. It’s not easy,” Hernandez said.

Training is difficult, but Hernandez and Milanese understand their nation’s quarantines.

“The police are always around. If they see you walking by yourself or in your car, they may ask you where you’re going. The fines are costly,” Hernandez said. “I like it, if you have to be quarantined, you’re quarantined. There’s nobody in the streets, only a few people still working. I know a guy, he’s an engineer, but he works far away from the city and there are like five or six of them. Every-body’s working from home.”

Milanese said he can’t even go to the grocery store until his 14-day quarantine from the date he landed in Italy has passed.

“If I go out, if the police stop me, they can arrest me, I could risk like 12 years of prison,” he said. “It’s not just my situa-tion. Now everyone is trying to stay home.”

Hernandez doesn’t know anyone who has contracted the virus, but said the situation in Spain is very serious.

“I’m not going to lie to you, a lot of cases every day, a lot of deaths every day,” he said. “If you don’t follow the news that much you don’t real-ize it, but the moment you read the (front) page, it’s sad, it shocks you.”

Now all Mihelic and his players can say is “What if?”

The Purple Raiders were set for a weekend trip to Adrian and Trine when their season was canceled. Outside hitter Justin Sibbel and libero Steven Greiner ended up being the final MCVL offensive and defensive players of the week, respectively. Sibbel recorded a career-high 33 kills in a five-set come-from-behind win over Mount St. Joseph.

Mihelic said his play-ers went through all the stages of grief after their season was canceled.

“They were angry and upset,” Mihelic said. “They were really frus-trated. They felt helpless. There was nothing they could do. I really felt for them.

“You could just feel the deflate in the room. We were having such a good season. We were doing so well. We thought, ‘This isn’t the end. This isn’t how it’s going to end.’ ”

In Mount Union’s case, it’s still just the begin-ning. The Purple Raiders lose no seniors. The 2021 season promises to be just as good and maybe even better.

“We don’t graduate anyone and that’s fan-tastic,” Mihelic said. “... I just feel for our guys because they didn’t get the ending they were shooting for.”

Cavs aid in telethonThe Cavaliers are teaming with local tele-

vision and radio stations to host a two-hour telethon Saturday.

“All for the Land: Covid-19 Relief Live” is scheduled to air 8 to 10 p.m. on WOIO Channel 19 with simulcast on CW 43. Radio stations WTAM-AM 1100 and WMMS-FM 100.7 also will air the program.

The show will celebrate local heroes and organizations that have been on the front line in helping stem the tide of coronavirus.

Money raised will go to United Way and Greater Cleveland Food Bank.

The show will be hosted by WOIO and WTAM anchors, WMMS personalities, Cavaliers broadcasters and others. Seg-ments will feature players, coaches and others including Josh and Maria Cribbs, musical performances and more. A rep-resentivie for the Cavs said head coach J.B. Bickerstaff and general manager Kobe Altman are scheduled to participate.

Televised tributes to people serving during the crisis will be included. Viewers are encouraged to share a photo or video of someone who is helping keep Northeast Ohio going: Doctors, nurses, hospital staffers, grocery-store employees, first-responders, delivery drivers and anyone else.

Drummond in NBA 2K tourneyThe Boardroom — an online platform

created by Kevin Durant and business partner Rich Kleiman — has teamed up with ESPN to broadcast a “Players-Only” NBA 2K Tournament that features some of the league’s best gamers.

The 16-player tournament, intended to bring back some basketball excitement in the face of a coronavirus shutdown, will begin Friday and is expected to last about 10 days, according to Yahoo Sports. The video-game participants, released Tues-day afternoon, have been seeded by their 2K rating followed by tenure in the league. Cavaliers center Andre Drummond was picked as a No. 6 seed with an 85 rating. Drummond will play fellow big man DeMar-cus Cousins in the first round.

Durant, with a 96 rating, is the top seed.Other matchups include Tre Young vs.

Harrison Barnes, Hassan Whiteside vs. Pat Beverley, Donovan Mitchel vs. Rui Hachimura, Devin Booker vs. Michael Porter Jr., Zach LaVine vs. Deandre Ayton and Montrezl Harrell vs. Domantas Sabonis.

On March 11, following Rudy Gobert’s positive test for COVID-19, the league sus-pended play indefinitely.

Since then, a number of NBA players, including Durant and Donovan Mitchell — Gobert’s teammate who also is participating in the video game tournament — also have also positive.

CAVALIERS NOTEBOOKCOMMENTARY: GOLF

What’s next at Muirfield?With Memorial in doubt, could U.S. Open be coming?

T he coronavirus pandemic puts the Memorial Tournament

into heavy rough, but the local PGA Tour event continues its normal planning until what already appears to be a low-percentage shot of happening turns impossible.

(Hushed golf commen-

tator voice: “The odds of execut-ing this tricky attempt are one in a million,

Jim.”)But even the impossible

presents another tan-talizing possibility that, while unlikely to occur, could salvage the pro tournament golf season in Columbus — even if not until the fall. That’s called a tease; more about it in a minute.

The Memorial, played every year since 1976 at Muirfield Village Golf Club, is in jeopardy of being postponed from its June 4-7 date or can-celed altogether as Ohio continues to safeguard against COVID-19 and the Tour weighs its scheduling options. Gov. Mike DeWine’s stay-at-home order runs through April 6 — for now — and prohibits gatherings of any size and closes non-essential businesses.

Given that the virus has yet to peak in Ohio, there remains a strong chance that stay-at-home social distancing will be extended. How long the extension lasts would further complicate the Memorial’s plans.

Additionally, the PGA Tour is expected to evaluate its schedule this week and decide if more tournaments should be postponed or canceled.

Events through the PGA Championship (May 14-17) already have been suspended; next up for consideration are the Colonial (May 21-24), followed by the Rocket Mortgage Clas-sic in Detroit and the Memorial.

If I were a betting man, I’d go with the Memo-rial not teeing off in early June.

After that, who knows? Might the tournament wedge into a late-sum-mer date? What about early fall?

No one can say, because with the virus no one knows.

Still full-goMemorial tournament

director Dan Sullivan isn’t focusing on a delay or cancellation — at least not officially. Behind closed doors, moving parts are being discussed, but for now Sullivan’s staff is full-go for the first week of June.

“Our plan is this: We expect the Memo-rial Tournament will be played,” Sullivan said. “We’re planning on it being played until we have to plan otherwise.

“Every day we are working toward making that happen, while understanding there are much bigger issues to focus on, so we are work-ing two parallel paths — June 1 and projecting to possibly hosting on another date.”

Sullivan added that there is no drop-dead date by which a decision must be made.

“It depends on the subject you’re referring to,” he said. “If it’s build-ing out the golf course,

we need to know by mid-April what the plan is. Outside of infrastruc-ture, there are plenty of levels (including player invitations, ticketing and corporate sales) that can be activated at different times as we get closer.”

Sullivan is in constant conversation with tour players, explaining they have no better idea than anyone else what tourna-ments will happen when.

“They all know this is a week-to-week thing as well, so they’re not necessarily coming with expectations that we have all the answers,” he said.

There is, however, some intrigue. The Masters already has been postponed, reportedly to October or November. The PGA Championship may well move into the late July/early August opening created by the postponement of the Olympics.

What about Open?That leaves the U.S.

Open as the lone major championship played on American soil to hold firm to its current spot (June 18-21). But several reports have the national championship moving from Winged Foot, located near the virus hot spot of New York City, to … where?

Might Muirfield stand in as a replacement for Winged Foot?

Sullivan understand-ably refused to speculate, but think about how such a scenario could offset the disappointment of a canceled Memorial — if it comes to that.

One tour insider told me only three courses could easily fill in for Winged Foot on the fly: Oakmont, located near Pittsburgh; Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina; and — wait for it — Muirfield Village.

Both Oakmont and Pinehurst have hosted multiple majors. Muir-field has not. Is that a detriment, or might golf’s decision-makers decide it’s the right time for new blood?

If the Memorial takes a hit and loses its tour event, the idea of Muir-field Village getting the U.S. Open seems like a good idea. And host it in September when the course plays fast and firm — the way Jack Nicklaus designed it.

What better way to honor Nicklaus than to hand him a men’s major under what likely is the only circumstance Muir-field will ever get one?

Again, Sullivan is too invested in the Memorial to openly consider such a thing, but the rest of us can dream.

And considering golf courses are going through some turbulent times in Columbus, dream-ing is all we have at the moment.

n A PGA Tour insider feels that Muirfield Village Golf Club is one of three courses in the country that could easily fill in as host of the U.S. Open if it can’t be held near New York City.



By Stan Choe and Damian J. TroiseThe Associated Press

NEW YORK Stocks fell Tuesday to close out Wall Street’s worst quarter since the most harrowing days of the 2008 financial crisis.

The S&P 500 dropped a final 1.6%, bringing its loss for the first three months of the year to 20% as predictions for the looming recession caused by the coronavirus outbreak got even more dire. Stocks haven’t had this bad a quarter since the last time economists were talking about the worst downturn since the Great Depression, when the S&P 500 lost 22.6% at the end of 2008.

The surge of coronavirus cases around the world has sent

markets to breathtaking drops since mid-February, undercut-ting what had been a good start to the year. Markets rose early in the quarter, and the S&P 500 set a record with expectations that the economy was accelerating due to calming trade wars and low interest rates around the world.

But benchmark U.S. crude oil dropped by roughly two thirds this quarter on expectations that a weakened economy will need less fuel.

The yield on the 10-year Trea-sury dropped below 1% for the first time as investors scrambled for safety, and it ended the quar-ter at roughly 0.67%. Germany’s DAX lost a quarter of its value, and South Korean stocks fell just over 20%.

The big question is if markets will get worse. At this point, no one knows.

“People are trying to digest the length and magnitude of what the coronavirus impact is going to be,” said George Rusnak, managing director of investment strategy at Wells Fargo Private Bank.

The steep drops from Tokyo to Toronto in recent weeks reflect investors’ understanding that the economy and corporate profits are in for a sudden, debilitating drop-off.

Economies around the world are grinding to near standstills as businesses close their doors and people hunker down at home in hopes of slowing the spread of the virus.

But markets have also cut their losses in recent weeks on hopes that massive aid from govern-ments and central banks around the world can blunt the blow. The S&P 500 was down nearly 31% for the quarter at one point, but it has climbed 15.5% since last Monday.

The Fed has promised to buy as many Treasurys as it takes to get lending markets work-ing smoothly after trading got snarled in markets that help companies borrow short-term cash to make payroll, home-buyers get mortgages and local governments to build infra-structure. Congress, meanwhile, approved a $2.2 trillion rescue plan for the economy, and lead-ers are already discussing the

possibility of another round of aid.

Whether markets have indeed found a bottom or whether investors have become too optimistic about the economic rebound coming after the viral outbreak peaks is impossible to say without knowing when the number of new infections will hit its peak.

“We’re kind of on this little milestone journey with markets,” said Brent Schutte, chief invest-ment strategist at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Co. “First, we get the economic plan in place, then we have to start to see some of the containment actions pay off. At some point, it’s going to be how do we get back to work.”

Conagra Brands shares rose to a six-week high after the maker of Slim Jims and Mrs. Butterworth’s syrup said it would exceed its fourth-quarter financial guidance as the pandemic drives much higher retail demand for its products.

Chicago-based Conagra said it’s “experienced significantly increased demand in its retail businesses, associated with the COVID-19 pandemic,” although its sales to

cafeterias and the food service industry are falling.Conagra’s brands also include Hunt’s ketchup and

Vlasic dill pickles.CEO Sean Connolly said that while

the situation “remains highly dynamic” and depends on the supply chain not breaking down, “we now believe that we will exceed our fiscal 2020 sales and profit guidance.”

Conagra shares closed up 4% at $29.34.

WASHINGTON The Trump admin-istration’s rollback of mileage standards Tuesday marks a win for Americans who like their SUVs and pickup trucks, but the government’s own estimates show big costs, too — more Americans dying from air pollution, more climate-damaging tailpipe exhaust and more expense for drivers at the gas pumps.

The administration’s final rule relaxes future mileage standards for years to come, gutting tougher Obama-era standards that were the U.S. government’s single most forceful initiative against climate-changing fossil fuel emissions.

“Great news! American families will now be able to buy safer, more affordable, and environmentally friendly cars with our new SAFE VEHICLES RULE,” President

Donald Trump declared in a tweet. “Get rid of those old, unsafe clunk-ers. Build better and safer American cars and create American jobs. Buy American!”

But Democratic lawmakers and environmental groups condemn the rollback, and years of legal battles are expected, including from Cali-fornia and other states opposed to the rollback.

The rollback drew rare public criticism from former President Barack Obama, who largely has remained silent as his successor tar-gets public health, environment and climate regulations from Obama’s time as part of the current adminis-tration’s regulation-cutting drive.

“We’ve seen all too terribly the consequences of those who denied warnings of a pandemic. We can’t afford any more consequences of climate denial,” Obama tweeted after Trump’s transportation and

Environmental Protection Agency heads made the final rule public.

Obama also ventured into this year’s presidential campaign with the mileage rollback, telling Americans to ““vote this fall.”” His vice president, Joe Biden, is the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Trump’s new mileage standards will require automakers to achieve 1.5% annual increases in fuel effi-ciency. The Obama-era standards called for 5% annual increases.

John Bozzella, CEO of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, a trade group representing automakers, said the industry still wants middle ground between the two standards, and it supports year-over-year mileage increases. But he says the Obama-era standards are outdated because of the drastic shift to trucks and SUVs.

Some advice for the ‘shy guy’ in BostonAmy

DICKINSON

askamy@ amydickinson.com

Q: I heard about a study that says work-ing overtime gives you high blood pressure. My husband just joined a competitive company, and he's expected to work a lot of extra hours. He's already a Type A kind of guy, and I'm worried.

A: You're referring to the results of research published last December that found a connection between putting in long hours at work each week and an increased risk of developing high blood pres-sure. More specifically, the study uncovered a link to a condition known as "masked hyperten-sion." This is when blood pressure readings in the doctor's office are normal but then rise to elevated — and even dangerous — levels outside of the clinical setting. That makes diagnosis and treatment difficult and may put someone at higher risk of heart problems and stroke.

In the study, published in the journal Hypertension, research-ers in Canada followed 3,500 office workers for five years. Participants in the study wore a device that measured their blood pressure every 15 minutes. The researchers also obtained daily blood pressure

readings while the work-ers were at rest. The goal was to identify periods

of normal blood pres-sure, sustained high blood pressure and masked hypertension. After adjusting the resulting

data for lifestyle fac-tors such as weight and smoking, existing medical conditions such as diabetes, family medical his-tory and job strain, the researchers found a correlation between how much overtime someone worked and their blood pressure.

Overall, the study found a 70% higher risk of masked hypertension among workers who put in 49 or more hours per week as compared to those with a workweek of 35 hours or fewer. They also found that the overtime group had a 66% higher risk of sustained high blood pressure. These are blood pressure readings that remain high and can be measured in a clinical setting. As little as one to nine hours of overtime was linked to a significant increase in risk of both types of hypertension. The results held true for both women and men.

Analysis of previous research, which also finds a connection between a long workweek and developing high blood pressure,

suggests stress and loss of sleep as potential causes. But because the number-crunching in the Cana-dian study takes those factors into consideration, the authors suspect some other mechanism is at work. Considering that the study looked at white-collar workers, who spend the lion's share of their time behind a desk, recent revelations about the adverse health effects of prolonged sitting may hold a clue. These include weight gain, increased risk of developing metabolic diseases like Type 2 diabetes, and, yes, hypertension. It will be interesting to see if these parallel avenues of research converge.

Meanwhile, considering the demands of your husband's new job, as well as your description of him as a driven Type A personal-ity, we think it would be wise for him to check in with his health care provider. He may be advised to monitor his blood pressure with a wearable monitor, which would allow a diagnosis, and, if needed, appropriate treatment.

Your birthday April 1: Question your current situa-tion and consider ways you can improve your life. The possibilities are endless if you are willing to put in the time and effort, and work diligently to reach your long-term goal. Use your imagination to find a way to make your dreams come true.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don’t take criticism to heart. Learn from the experience someone offers you. Don’t let your emotions take the reins. Being patient will pay off and will lead to better options.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Take advantage of an opportunity. Don’t let uncertainty lead to hesi-tation and regret. Let your intuition take charge, and trust your ability to take care of business.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Events that focus on information, knowledge and technology will be beneficial. Check your bank balance before you spend money on unnecessary items. Don’t fall victim to a polished sales pitch or pressure tactics.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Take the path that excites you. Let your mind wander, and enjoy life. A change someone makes will interest you. Find out more and consider how you can benefit from doing something similar.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Travel will cost more than anticipated. The people you encounter along the way will be eager to part you from your money. Caution, coupled with penny-pinching, will pay off.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

-- Expand your interests, friend-ships and knowledge. Attend functions offering information that will help you get ahead and con-nect you to people who can further your interests.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Simple plans will be less expen-sive. If you overdo it, you will end up backtracking. Don’t overreact if met with opposition. Channel your energy into something that counts.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Pursuing projects that stimulate your mind and challenge your imagination will bring you the most satisfaction. Don’t limit what you can do by the company you keep.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Get involved in challenging activities. You will learn a lot about yourself in competitive situations. Everyone you encounter will admire your honesty and fair play.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t let your emotions interfere with your professional integrity. Someone you care about may let you down or criticize the way you do things. Take charge of your happiness and please yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Follow your heart and do what you enjoy most. Your determina-tion and discipline will bring good results and make you feel good about who you are and what you do.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Step up and prepare to take control. You’ve got what it takes to turn your ideas into reality. Follow your heart in both personal and professional matters. Romance is favored.
