NCAA proposal recommends cap on 2021 winter and spring championships

By

In their meeting earlier this week, the NCAA Division III Championships Committee recommended limiting all winter and spring championships to 75% of their standard capacity. This applies equally to team and individual sports. If the proposal were to go into effect for wrestling, the NCAA bracket would be reduced from 180 athletes to 135.

Before this proposal becomes reality, feedback will be solicited from the various sport committees. Then the Management and Presidents Councils will make the final decision. This decision could come next month.

Putting this proposal into action for wrestling would require a significant reworking of the qualification procedures. Presently, the top three wrestlers in each weight from each of six regions qualifies into a bracket of 18 competitors. Dropping from 180 to 135 could result in the return of some sort of at-large selections as well as true-second matches at the regional tournaments.

The cost of hosting championships and budget constraints related to COVID-19 are the driving factors behind this proposal. Hosting all rounds of winter and spring championships at predetermined sites and enhanced testing and sanitation protocols will add $9 million to the championships budget for 2020-2021, and reducing field sizes has been proposed to help limit expenses. Division III had already experienced a $7.6 million budget shortfall for 2019-2020 as a result of the cancellation of winter and spring championships.

This past weekend, Brockport and Oswego made announcements affecting their respective wrestling teams.

Brockport has temporarily suspended the wrestling program pending the completion of an investigation launched as “[i]nformation…emerged of alleged violations of SUNY Brockport’s social distancing and face covering policies within the wrestling program and wrestling physical education classes, as well as other potential infractions,” reports WHAM. The school has also canceled two wrestling physical education courses for the rest of the semester.

Oswego has suspended all athletic activity and Greek life for the rest of the semester and has indefinitely suspended in-person dining and residence hall visitation, as reported by WGRZ. Both campuses cited non-compliance with COVID-19 distancing and mask protocols as reasons behind the changes.

Meanwhile, Cortland had previously announced a one week pause on athletic activities, but that pause has been extended indefinitely. The school will begin testing 1,000 students a week and will reassess activities on a weekly basis. Oneonta sent all residential students home on September 3rd and transitioned to remote-only education for the rest of the fall semester.

Other schools have made recent adjustments due to rising cases on campus as well. Gettysburg has sent students other than freshmen and transfers home while transitioning the rest to remote learning. Adrian has moved many classes online for a two week period set to end on Friday.

NCAA Fall Championships Canceled

The NCAA Board of Governors met on Tuesday to discuss fall championships in all three divisions. This morning, the NCAA announced that each division would make its own decision about championships. Subsequently, the Division III President’s Council canceled fall sports championships. This includes the sports of cross country, field hockey, football, soccer, and volleyball. At the time of the decision, only the American Rivers Conference has indicated a plan to move forward with a fall conference schedule, so this decision was not a great surprise at the Division III level. It is not yet clear how this decision will affect the ARC or schools like Adrian that have announced plans to play this fall even though their conference has canceled the season.

The administrative and financial challenges caused by the pandemic were too great to allow fall championships. The NCAA faced a huge loss in revenue caused by the cancellation of the Division I men’s basketball tournament. The television contract for March Madness pays the NCAA over $800 million per year and a portion of that money is used to pay for Division III championship events. Per the NCAA Constitution, Division III receives 3.18% of NCAA revenues, and about 3/4 of that is used to conduct championships.

As of July 29th, every conference in Division III except the Landmark (Scranton, Elizabethtown) has made an announcement regarding fall sports. See a summary here. Most have canceled or suspended fall sports, some have done so for winter sports until January, and a few intend to continue with fall sports in some fashion. Some conferences that include schools with wrestling have suspended all sports to January, but if the conference does not sponsor wrestling, it will be up to the school to make a decision. Even if a conference cancels sports, some schools will still have the option for non-conference competition.

Future announcements could change the status of sports at any school, but here is a quick summary of where wrestling stands for the fall semester after most schools have made an initial decision. 46 of 113 schools have announced intention to wait until January to compete in wrestling. Others have said that a decision on winter sports will be made in the future. Some have made no statement regarding winter sports, and others are intending to proceed with fall and winter sports.

Click here to see the previous update. This brings the total of wrestling teams suspended or canceled until 2021 up to 21 as of July 21st.

In other COVID-19 athletics news, the NCAA Management Council has recommended canceling all Fall 2020 NCAA Division III Championships. Also, the council approved a proposal allowing more flexibility in determining the length of the season for all sports. Rather than counting weeks of the season, schools can count days. Basketball, men’s ice hockey, and wrestling will additionally be permitted to start practice October 1st. Wrestling typically has a start date of October 10th. The first allowable date of competition in wrestling remains November 1st.

“The recommendation (to cancel championships) will go to the Board of Governors and Presidents Council. The Board has the authority to suspend NCAA championships. Its next scheduled meetings are July 24 and Aug. 4.”

Centennial Conference suspends fall semester competition

The Centennial Conference has suspended all competition scheduled for the fall semester. This includes winter sports. Gettysburg, Johns Hopkins McDaniel, Muhlenberg, and Ursinus are full Centennial members with wrestling. It is not yet clear how this will affect associate members Washington & Lee and Merchant Marine. Washington & Lee is a member of the ODAC in other sports, and that conference outlined their plan to begin fall competition no sooner than September 11th. Merchant Marine is a full member of the Skyline Conference and an associate member of the NEWMAC in football. Neither conference has made an announcement as of yet.

The release states that football will definitely not happen, but it allows for a reevaluation of other sports at the end of September. Perhaps conditions will improve enough to allow wrestling to begin before January.

Centennial Conference Statment:

LANCASTER, Pa. — The following is a statement regarding athletic activity for the fall 2020 semester.

In response to the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Centennial Conference Presidents Council has been meeting diligently to address the safety and well-being of students, faculty, staff, and their communities. As institutions finalize their plans for the coming year, federal, state, and local health guidance, as well as institutional policies, will guide their independent decisions regarding reopening.

Given health and other related concerns, the Centennial Conference Presidents Council has decided to suspend any inter-collegiate competition for sports scheduled for the fall semester. The presidents will reevaluate this decision by the end of September, based on work to be done by the Conference to assess sports-specific activities and the experiences on the schools’ campuses. The presidents have determined football will not be played in the fall. The Conference will also explore the possibility of shifting certain fall sports, including football, to the spring.

Kathryn A. Foster, the president of The College of New Jersey, laid out the school’s plans for reopening this fall in an online letter today. Along with information about the semester schedule and modifications due to COVID-19 was information that certain sports would not compete during the fall semster:

Regrettably but necessarily, and in alignment with our rationale and actions in instruction, residential education, and other operations, I have decided that for health and safety reasons we will restrict the menu of in-person student activities this fall to low human density and low in-person contact or proximity activities only. This means that we will cancel high human density, high in-person contact or proximity extracurricular activities, including performance ensembles (e.g., music, theater), many events and gatherings of clubs and organizations, and all high-contact varsity, intramural, and club athletics scheduled for fall semester (including football, soccer, field hockey, basketball, wrestling, rugby, dance, and cheerleading). Coaches and trainers may arrange workouts and other individual fitness activities. Student Affairs staff is organizing a creative suite of low-contact recreational and cultural offerings.

The state of New Jersey was hit hard by the coronavirus in the early stages of the pandemic. As of June 25th, there have been over 170,000 cases and over 13,000 deaths in New Jersey. However, the number of cases per day has decreased in June.
