Fans react to Big Ten, NCAA tournament fan shutdown Indianapolis Star
In a move so rare and drastic it surpasses even World War II-era policy, the NCAA announced Thursday afternoon that it is canceling its 2020 men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, as well as remaining winter and spring championship
The association’s statement came after a fraught evening of COVID-19-related postponements and cancellations, chief among them the NBA’s decision to suspend its season after a player tested positive for the virus. Now, for the first time since the creation of the men’s tournament in 1939, the NCAA will end a season without crowning a champion in basketball.
