NCAA cancels all remaining winter and spring tournaments due to COVID-19


And then there were none. Following the declaration that COVID-19 is now a pandemic, the diagnosis of professional athletes with COVID-19, and the cancellation of virtually all remaining college basketball and hockey tournaments, the NCAA came out and announced the cancellation of all remaining men's and women's winter and spring tournaments. 

What all does this affect? It means no March Madness. It means no Frozen Four. It men's no national collegiate men's volleyball championship. It means no outdoor track and field championships. It means no college baseball, college softball, college gymnastics, beach volleyball, bowling, or college lacrosse tournament will be played. Or any other NCAA event I may have missed. It basically spells the end of any and all collegiate athletics until August.

Will the remaining UEFA football leagues follow suit? How about the XFL? WWE? Boxing events? UFC? Only time will tell, but either way collegiate sports has offically bid adieu until at least August.
