NCAA Takes A Shot At Hosting 2021 Men’s March Madness Tournament In One Area

NCAA officials last month announced a similar plan to hold the Men’s Division I tournament, sometimes referred to as March Madness, in a single location, Indianapolis.

Both the women’s and men’s basketball tournaments were canceled earlier this year as the widespread devastation the coronavirus pandemic was just becoming clear. The decision to cancel the 2020 tournaments came as the virus shuttered virtually all aspects of the sports world.

The mayor of San Antonio, Ron Nirenberg, said he was honored his city was selected to host the women’s tournament. He also said safety precautions were a priority.

«It is also a tremendous responsibility, and I know our local organizing committee and our hospitality industry will make the safety and wellbeing of the athletes, coaches and fans its highest priority, Nirenberg added.
