PRINCETON, N.J. -- With the health of students as well as the campus and the general community in mind, the Ivy League Presidents have decided to cancel the upcoming Ivy League Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments. The League’s regular-season champions, Princeton women and Yale men, are the automatic qualifiers to the NCAA Tournaments.
The decision has been made in accordance with the guidance of public health and medical professionals to discourage and limit large gatherings on campuses in light of the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation.
“We understand and share the disappointment with student-athletes, coaches and fans who will not be able to participate in these tournaments,” Ivy League Executive Director Robin Harris said. “Regrettably, the information and recommendations presented to us from public health authorities and medical professionals have convinced us that this is the most prudent decision.”
All tickets for the Ivy League Basketball Tournaments will be refunded in full. Ticket holders with any questions should contact the Harvard ticket office.

Regular season champion Yale will go to the NCAA Tournament.
Sucks for Harvard
One game behind them in the standings, beat them Yale twice in conference play and just as recently as last game that was played.

This is what every conference should do every year.

I don't know if i'd call Ivy League tournament games large gatherings. There's probably a 10's of thousands of businesses that have larger gatherings in their office daily.

Why is it only liberal dumbasses overreacting and canceling stuff?

And so it begins. This is really gonna suck watching tournament games without fans. If they play it at all. And this was going to be one of the most exciting NCAA tourneys ever with such parity and no dominant teams.

So they're cancelling conference tournaments, but they're still ok with sending the regular season champions to the NCAA tournament? Makes sense.

Since when has the Ivy League had a conference tourney? I thought their regular season winner got the auto bid?

Somebody needs to tell these egg heads there will be even bigger crowds at the ncaa tourney. This reeks of liberal grandstanding.

Just play in an empty arena. What an overreaction.

1-bid conferences shouldn’t have tournaments. Dumb not to send your best

I am just very confused at to what they are trying to prevent by cancelling this tournament. People get sick all the time after public gatherings
