Only essential staff and limited family to attend Div 1 basketball championships 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.

Could that be a clear omen that the Beavs will win out? Just our luck.

1942 - they move the Rose Bowl 2020 - they close the arenas
Will a major international event work for the underdog Beavs?

Do they cancel the whole NIT? given the lower status, lower TV revenue, etc? Man, that would really suck...

They’ll suspend all tourneys Definitely looking like that’s a strong possibility. OSU and uo just announced that finals and classes moving forward will be online only.
