NCAA President Mark Emmert suggested the possibility of a bubble in college sports in an interview posted on the organization’s Twitter account Thursday evening.
After explaining why the NCAA cannot currently proceed with fall championships other than FBS football – which isn’t controlled by the NCAA – Emmert said he is “completely confident” that winter and spring sports will have championships.
“We have to give highest priority to the winter and spring sports because they lost their championship last March,” Emmert said. “We made that horrible, awful but necessary choice to shut down. Didn’t have Frozen Four, didn’t have Final Fours, didn’t have World Series in baseball or softball or track championships, lacrosse.
