For the first time in the history of college athletics, there will be a perfect March Madness bracket.
All of them.
This past Wednesday, at 1:16 p.m. Pacific Time, the NCAA made an unprecedented announcement.
There would be no men’s or women’s championship tournaments this year.
That move came after nearly every conference had also announced that their tournaments would be canceled in order to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.
The NCAA basically had no choice.
After Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz tested positive for COVID-19, followed by his teammate Donovan Mitchell, and the NBA decided to postpone the remainder of their season at least 30 days, there was basically no way college basketball could make an excuse for going ahead.
