Imagine an NCAA Tournament with no fans in the arenas.
What normally would be thought an impossibility isn’t so far-fetched as the United States and the rest of the world attempt to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
An advocacy group for college athletes has urged the NCAA to consider holding its winter sports championships with no fans, and the idea has not been dismissed.
“If you can think of it, it’s something that we’ve gone through an analysis around,” NCAA Chief Operating Officer Donald Remy told Bloomberg News on Tuesday. “We’ve contingency planned for all circumstances.”
The NCAA declined further comment to The Associated Press on the possibility of no fans in the stands. Presumably, the games still would be televised.
