The Iowa wrestling team's NCAA Championship drought will extend another year.

This time, though, it has nothing to do with their performance on the mat.

The NCAA announced Thursday that the Division I, II and III national wrestling championships, as well as all remaining winter and spring championships, have been canceled amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.

"Today, NCAA President Mark Emmert and the Board of Governors canceled the Division I men’s and women’s 2020 basketball tournaments, as well as all remaining winter and spring NCAA championships," the NCAA said in a release.
