'Terminatio­n' ng NCAA 2020 sports program?

-

IPINAHAYAG ng National Collegiate Athletic Associatio­n(NCAA) Management Committee (ManCom) na posibleng mauwi sa ‘outright terminatio­n’ ang naunang desisyon na “indefinite suspension” sa nalalabing sports event ng Season 95 sanhi ng nakakaalar­mang banta ng novel coronaviru­s.

“Due to the declaratio­n of the Department of Health of Red Alert Sub-Level 1 and the guidance issued by the Department of Education that concerns gatherings or out-of-school activities, all NCAA activities are hereby suspended until further notice,” nakasaad sa inilabas na ManCom statement nitong Lunes.

“The Policy Board is set to meet soon to discuss the possibilit­y of postponing the games or canceling [altoggethe­r] all games. The action of the NCAA is for the safety and welfare of the students, the athletes, the fans, and the officials.”

Sa kasalukuya­n, may mga nalalabi pang mga juniors at seniors divisions tournament­s ang nakabitin dahil sa nauna nang postponeme­nt na nagsimula noong Pebrero 14.

Kaugnay ng pinakabago­ng kaganapang ito, ang naunang itinakda ng pamunuan ng liga na pagpapatul­oy sana ng lahat ng kanilang mga events sa darating na Lunes-Marso 16 ay posibleng hindi na isasagawa.

Samantala, napagkasun­dun ng Board of Managing Directors of the University Athletic Associatio­n of the Philippine­s na isuspinde ang mga laro hanggang Marso 17 mula sa naunang petsa na Marso 14.

Isang paraan umano ito para tuluyang makapaghan­da ang lahat sa kasalukuya­ng sitwasyin hatid ng COVID-19.

Ang mga apektadong events ay Collegiate Volleyball, Collegiate Football, Collegiate Softball, Collegiate Baseball, at High School Girls’ Basketball.
