Does NCAA give any guidance to schools hosting events about cancellations due to COVID-19?  With many industry conferences getting canceled, only a matter of time Universities will have to consider postponing sporting events.

Not yet -- only yesterday did the NCAA announce its COVID-19 task force.

More likely that they'd play with no fans?  Not unprecedented....

is this a rumor or actually something NCAA is thinking about doing for March Madness?  would airlines allow JUST players to travel to game where there would be no fans?

I think the fact other countries have been putting on sporting events with no fans make it something to consider.

Creative camera work makes these early round games seem like the buildings have a lot of fans when in reality they tend to be rather sparse anyway.

I have no idea if they will take this into account, but I do hope they consider it.

I too hope NCAA considers takes this into account bot also why a potential host might close a gym.

So...by my count there's 6 flights needed for next weekend which seems like an awfully high number.  3 out of 4 teams will have to fly to the host in the bottom left, and George Fox, MHB and Newport will all have to fly to Amherst (though if George Fox is staying east they'll probably just bus up to Amherst, but does that count towards the bean counters??)

Also, what are the odds the NESCAC hosts 3 of the 4 pods next weekend??  Tufts in the upper left is a given, and Amherst in the upper right is almost a given.  I have a feeling the only reason Oglethorpe didn't host this past weekend was because Randolph-Macon checked in at over 500 miles while R-M clocked in at just under 500 to Transy, so if I had to guess Ogle gets the hosting edge over Bowdoin for that part of the bracket.  Hope is easily hosting the bottom right.

Amherst barred fans because of COVID-19 precautions.   Highly doubt by next Friday administration would change barring fans again this friday.  George Fox flew back to OR.
Selecting host that NCAA knows will very likely bar fans that weekend is not good PR.

This is going to far with this covid-19 let the fans decide if they want to attend not the Colleges.I understand this is big hype.They never closed when the flu or any other disease came out just relax and let the people decide instead of getting your name in the news !!!

Some college do close down for really bad flu viruses.  We had a three day sick break when I was in school.
