NCAA Tournament to be played without fans

You won't be seeing anything like this at this year's NCAA Tournament



Earlier today San Francisco forced the Warriors to play their game tomorrow without fans and now the NCAA has decided their popular march madness tournament will be played fan-less as well. The NCAA will look to move many of the games to smaller venues, since playing in a huge arena with completely empty seats doesn't make much sense.

The NCAA made the unprecedented decision Wednesday to hold its men's and women's basketball tournaments without fans because of the ongoing coronavirus crisis.

"The NCAA continues to assess the impact of COVID-19 in consultation with public health officials and our COVID-19 advisory panel," NCAA president Mark Emmert said in a statement. "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.
