The end of the 2020 NCAA men's basketball season was supposed to take place April 6 in Atlanta, Georgia. Over 80,000 fans were expected to attend the NCAA's annual Final Four at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Unfortunately, the massive outbreak of the global coronavirus pandemic put a sudden end to the men's and women's tournaments almost a month earlier than expected. The NCAA had no other choice but to cancel March Madness. It was heartbreaking, but no game is more important than the health and safety of everyone involved, and this was one time when sports had to take a back seat to the concerns of public health. My heart goes out to all the players, coaches, and fans who dreamed about being part of this magical three-week experience.
