The NCAA Tournament Will Have Games Without Fans, and the NBA Suspends Its Season
In light of the recent spread of the coronavirus, the NCAA announced the upcoming March Madness games will be played without fans at the stadium. Later on Wednesday, the NBA said that it would suspend games indefinitely, as a player on the Utah Jazz tested positive for the coronavirus.
In a statement, the NBA said: "The NBA is suspending game play following the conclusion of tonight's schedule of games until further notice. ... The NBA will use this hiatus to determine next steps for moving forward in regard to the coronavirus pandemic."
Obviously, this isn't good news for the leagues, or the stadiums that are home to these sports teams. Yet should the NCAA tournament and NBA playoffs (scheduled for mid-April) go forward as scheduled without fans, some cable companies could benefit.
