Indianapolis, Ind. - National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) President Mark Emmert and the Board of Governors canceled the Division I men's and women's 2020 basketball tournaments, as well as all remaining winter and spring NCAA championships on Thursday.

This decision is based on the evolving COVID-19 public health threat, our ability to ensure the events do not contribute to spread of the pandemic, and the impracticality of hosting such events at any time during this academic year given ongoing decisions by other entities, said the NCAA.   

The UWL women's and men's track & field squads and wrestling team were set to compete at the NCAA III Championships this weekend in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
