KANSAS CITY, Mo. — West Virginia athletic director Shane Lyons has canceled all WVU athletic events effective through March 22, the school announced Thursday. The decision is an early indicator that the NCAA tournament will not proceed as scheduled, if it does happen at all.
Lyons’ decision cancels the upcoming baseball series at Texas Tech and Friday’s home gymnastics meet against Maryland and Kentucky.
Earlier in the day, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby announced that the conference gymnastics championships scheduled for WVU Coliseum on March 21 is also canceled. The suspension will also affect scheduled events for WVU tennis, track and golf.
