The NCAA has announced that future 2020 winter NCAA championships will be limited to essential staff and limited family in wake of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

That includes the men’s and women’s swimming championships as well as basketball tournaments.<\/p>\n

NCAA President Mark Emmert<\/strong> released this statement:<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

The NCAA continues to assess the impact of COVID-19 in consultation with public health officials and our COVID-19 advisory panel. Based on their advice and my discussions with the NCAA Board of Governors, I have made the decision to conduct our upcoming championship events, including the Division I men\u2019s and women\u2019s basketball tournaments, with only essential staff and limited family attendance. While I understand how disappointing this is for all fans of our sports, my decision is based on the current understanding of how COVID-19 is progressing in the United States. This decision is in the best interest of public health, including that of coaches, administrators, fans and, most importantly, our student-athletes. We recognize the opportunity to compete in an NCAA national championship is an experience of a lifetime for the students and their families. Today, we will move forward and conduct championships consistent with the current information and will continue to monitor and make adjustments as needed.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

The NCAA Division I Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships begin March 18 in Athens, Georgia.<\/p>\n

The NCAA Division I Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships begin March 25 in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n

Here is a statement on the NCAA Championships from the NCAA Advisory Panel:<\/p>\n

The NCAA COVID-19 Advisory Panel recognizes the fluidity of COVID-19 and its impact on hosting events in a public space. COVID-19 is spreading rapidly in the United States, and behavioral risk mitigation strategies are the best option for slowing the spread of this disease. This is especially important because mildly symptomatic individuals can transmit COVID-19. Given these considerations, coupled with a more unfavorable outcome of COVID-19 in older adults \u2013 especially those with underlying chronic medical conditions \u2013 we recommend against sporting events open to the public. We do believe sport events can take place with only essential personnel and limited family attendance, and this protects the players, employees, and fans.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
