Hours after the Ivy League canceled its men's and women's basketball conference tournaments over the coronavirus outbreak, some players have signed a petition asking to reinstate this weekend's event.
Penn's Liz Satter tweeted a link to the petition on change.org and asked people to sign it in an effort to help bring back the tournaments.
"My teammates, and the other athletes on these teams, deserve the chance to compete in this tournament," she said.
"The hypocrisy of our Ivy League presidents is baffling and alarming. We are disappointed and disheartened that they would discriminate against one sport and allow the others to continue to compete," the petition said.
