NCAA cancels Division III fall championships

Division III fall championships are canceled and will not be rescheduled to the spring, the NCAA announced on Tuesday. The D-III Presidents Council voted on the decision on Wednesday. 

"Our championship committee reviewed the financial and logistical ramifications if Division III fall sports championships were conducted in the spring and found it was logistically untenable and financially prohibitive," said Tori Murden McClure, president at Spalding and chair of the Presidents Council. "Moving forward, we will try to maximize the championships experience for our winter and spring sports student-athletes, who unfortunately were short-changed last academic year."
