The NCAA Board of Governors announced Wednesday the cancellation of all Division III fall championships amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“Looking at the health and safety challenges we face this fall during this unprecedented time, we had to make this tough decision to cancel championships for fall sports this academic year in the best interest of our student-athlete and member institutions,” Tori Murden McClure, chair of the Presidents Council and president at Spalding, said in an official statement.
Earlier Wednesday, the NCAA announced that an Aug. 21 deadline has been set for the three NCAA divisions to make final decisions on whether fall sports seasons and national championships will be held this year.
