Coronavirus: NCAA Tournament to continue without fans; Ivy League cancels spring sports

NCAA President Mark Emmert announced on Wednesday afternoon, on the advice of the NCAA COVID-19 Advisory Panel, that the NCAA Tournament (and all championship events) will take place with only essential staff and limited family attendance. This means that spectators will not be allowed at any of the tournament games, but it also means that the kids who have worked so hard to reach the postseason will still have an opportunity to climb the highest mountain of their sport.

The full advisory panel statement:

The NCAA COVID-19 Advisory Panel recognizes the fluidity of COVID-19 and its impact on hosting events in a public space.
