NCAA president Mark Emmert issued an official statement Wednesday regarding fan participation at this year’s tournament. Essential personnel and limited family members are the only ones allowed at the games.

In effect the tournament will not consist of any fans. This is the first time in the tournaments 81 year history that something like this has happened.

“ we recommend against sporting events open to the public. We do believe sport events can take place with only essential personnel and limited family attendance, and this protects the players, employees, and fans.” said Emmert.

Will you watch the tournament this year? Are you concerned? Please share in the comments below.
