The Ivy League said Tuesday that it had canceled its men’s and women’s basketball tournaments as colleges and universities nationwide reckoned with the spread of the coronavirus.
“We understand and share the disappointment with student-athletes, coaches and fans who will not be able to participate in these tournaments,” Robin Harris, the league's executive director, said in a statement. “Regrettably, the information and recommendations presented to us from public health authorities and medical professionals have convinced us that this is the most prudent decision.”
The Ivy League tournament, which is relatively new and has been played only three times, now rotates among conference members.
