Logically one can presume that ALL of the various NCAA sports will similarly be affected.
WHILE NOT RELATED to the NCAA, USA FENCING is cancelling events:
The USA Fencing organization cancelled (technically postponed) the March SJCC event. It was supposed to take place this coming weekend in Anaheim, CA. While that event means nothing to most people its a BIG amateur event in the fencing world drawing an international crowd.
We are in the last part of the competitive year for the fencing community. Many of the upcoming events will determine our upcoming Olympic, World and National Teams. There are major events scheduled for March, April, May and finally our national championships the first weekend in July. Questions about March and April are already circulating.

NCAA President Mark Emmert says NCAA Division I basketball tournament games will not be open to the general public because of concerns about the spread of coronavirus.
Emmert said in a statement Wednesday that he made the decision to conduct both the men's and women's tournaments, which begin next week, with only essential staff and limited family in attendance. The decision comes after the NCAA's COVID-19 advisory panel of medical experts recommended against playing sporting events open to the general public.
The 68-team field for the men's tournament is scheduled to be announced Sunday and the 64-team women's tournament field is to be unveiled Monday. Games begin Tuesday and Wednesday on the men's side in Dayton, Ohio, where earlier Wednesday the governor ordered to restrict spectator access to indoor sporting events.
