UCLA has a ban on fans on all sporting events on campus until April 10. Will we see a NCAA tournament with just teams, TV cameras and staff?

I was wondering the same - will they cancel the events, or play in empty stadiums? I haven't seen the latter being used as an option so far ...

Plan for a football season like that. There is even talk about suspending fall sports like football now.
Vaccine might be year and a half out.

No longer a recommendation. Done deal. www.ncaa.org/about/resources/media-center/news/ncaa-president-mark-emmerts-statement-limiting-attendance-ncaa-eventNCAA President Mark Emmert's statement on limiting attendance at NCAA events March 11, 2020 4:29pm 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’s and women’s 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. |

Some much for homecourt advantage in the tournament Question... is it now a advantage to travel to a court where home fans are not present?? Other than travel I'd still say no, but I think it really affects those lower seeds that are typically rooted for quite loudly. I wonder how much "fudging" each school host gets to do to allow fans in. Like every other aspect of the NCAA I can see some sites being more populated with "family" and "key personnel"?! |

If a team wins a National Championship and no one's there to see it did it really happen? That might not be all bad ;-)
