NCAA President Mark Emmert released the following statement today:
The NCAA continues to assess the impact of COVID-19 in consultation with public health officials and our COVID-19 advisory panel. Based on their advice and my discussions with the NCAA Board of Governors, I have made the decision to conduct our upcoming championship events, including the Division I men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, with only essential staff and limited family attendance. While I understand how disappointing this is for all fans of our sports, my decision is based on the current understanding of how COVID-19 is progressing in the United States. This decision is in the best interest of public health, including that of coaches, administrators, fans and, most importantly, our student-athletes. We recognize the opportunity to compete in an NCAA national championship is an experience of a lifetime for the students and their families. Today, we will move forward and conduct championships consistent with the current information and will continue to monitor and make adjustments as needed.

This should include the NCAA Division III Wrestling Championships this week in Cedar Rapids. No other information is currently available.
Oh, GREAT!!! Of all places, now we have to deal with fake news on D3W??? Ok, you’re not a professional journalist, but if you’re going to play one, then you need at least attempt to do the job. Emmert specifically said “the wrestling championships in Minneapolis.” Are we going to Minneapolis? No, we are not. Nothing has yet been said regarding the D3 tournament in Cedar Rapids, and we would MUCH appreciate if you would not contribute to the panic and pandemonium in this fashion.
I’m loading the car. Please let us know if you have anything concrete to share. Like, official. Confirmed. Specific. That kind of stuff.
The tournament director told me face-to-face that no general public would be admitted – only family.
Dad, stop. You’re embarrassing me.
D3dad, you’re an idiot. All 3 divisions are included
Has anyone checked if D3dad has made it to Cedar Rapids?
