...and NCAA has announced that March Madness basketball tournament games (both men and women) will be played with only limited fans in attendance (families and some others).

I wonder if the Ivy league spring athletes will get an additional year of eligibility since their season was cancelled?

We are certainly in unchartered waters

It seems like most schools are continuing with their spring season sports but eliminating fans. Since this is a soccer site the big question is does spring soccer continue? For my dd's school that question has not be answered yet. They are on spring break right now (she is at a teammates house for the week in Virginia) but they cancelled school next week and will go online afterwards at least for a few weeks. The good news is that the dorms will remain open along with food services. If practices continue it might actually be safer to stay at school since most students will be gone. If no practice then I need to figure out how she get's her stuff and then fly her home. Yikes what a mess.
