“In regard to the NCAA’s March Madness Tournament and other athletic events, there should be a serious discussion about holding competitions without an audience present,” the National College Players Association said in a statement.
There are more than 60 confirmed cases of the coronavirus nationwide. Washington state confirmed the first death from the virus on Saturday.
The NCAA will reveal the bracket with the 68 teams competing in the tournament on March 15, known as Selection Sunday, with the first four games held on March 17 and 18 at the University of Dayton in Ohio.
