Report: NCAA to Furlough Staff for Three to Eight Weeks

The NCAA will furlough its entire Indianapolis-based staff of about 600 people for between three to eight weeks this fall, according to a memo obtained Wednesday by the Associated Press' Ralph Russo.

The cost-saving move will not affect senior executives, per Russo.

According to the AP, NCAA president Mark Emmert alerted the organization's schools Wednesday.

Emmert reportedly wrote that starting in late September and through the end of January 2021, all national office staff will be required to undergo a mandatory three-week furlough. Depending on one's position, some staff will be furloughed for up to eight weeks.
