NCAA president Mark Emmett said that Rudy Gobert’s positive test for COVID-19 was the exclamation point for the decision to cancel the NCAA Tournament.
“We [were] completely convinced at 4 p.m. on Wednesday that we could conduct the championships without fans by controlling the sites effectively,” Emmert said. “We thought we could control the perimeters and control the environment, and, as best as possible, travel, because it’s mostly charter travel and buses one way or another. We felt really confident about it. We were feeling really, really good.”
Then, Rudy Gobert was found positive. “It was like, ‘Yeah, this is real,'” Emmert said.
