NCAA Decision Hits Omaha

The cancellation of the NCAA basketball tournaments shook the nation and Omaha will be one of the cities taking a hit as a result of the NCAA’s overall shutdown.

More than two dozen other men’s and women’s championships won’t be contested this winter and spring, either, and that doesn’t include all the sports in Divisions II and III.

The NCAA decision to cancel winter and spring sports championships means the College World Series will not be held for the first time in since 1946.

The Division I baseball championship is the NCAA’s No. 2 revenue producer and has been held in Omaha every year since 1950.
