What has COVID-19 Done to the NCAA?

Hey basketball fans! We all know that Covid-19 has had a lot of affect on every sport. Already, four major pro sports leagues in North America — MLB, NBA, NHL and MLS — have temporarily closed their clubhouses and locker rooms to the media. And a member of Tokyo's 2020 Olympic organizing committee's executive board raised the possibility of the Games being postponed for a year or two if they can't go on as scheduled. But what has it done for just the NCAA? That is the question that we are going to be answering.

The Yale men's and Princeton women's teams will represent the Ivy League in the upcoming NCAA Tournaments after officials scrapped the postseason conference tourneys to "limit large gatherings on campuses in light of the coronavirus situation." Two conferences have decided their men's and women's basketball tournaments will be played behind closed doors. Both the Big West and Mid-American Conferences on Tuesday became the first to announce they're restricting public access to the tournament sites

In response to players who expressed frustration with the decision, Ivy League executive director Robin Harris said public health concerns were paramount: “We understand and share the disappointment with student-athletes, coaches and fans who will not be able to participate in these tournaments.”

This is the most drastic reaction from a virus ever in all of sports history. They are trying to keep the players safe, and I get that, but come on. They cancelled all of the NBA, NCAA, MLB, NHL, and the MLS. That is a little bit drastic for a virus that we don't know that much about.
