Duke University has suspended all athletic competition for the foreseeable future, effective immediately, in response to COVID-19. The announcement was made Thursday by President Vincent E. Price, in conjunction with guidance from public health experts and Duke Athletics leadership.

The suspension applies to all athletic competitions and practices for the health and safety of all who are essential to these activities. This suspension also applies to any camps and clinics sponsored by Duke's intercollegiate athletic programs.

Duke University and Duke Athletics will convey additional information, when available, via its social media channels and GoDuke.com.

If I am reading it correctly even if there is a NCAA tournament Duke is not going to participate. No Coach K = No Tournament.

Univ of Kansas just shut down their athletic program. No way there will be a tournament with Coach and the #1 team in the country not participating.

Coach K, one of the all time greats....this might be his last season? He’s getting old....Just wonder if they have someone to carry-on his legacy?

NASCAR must be next?
MLB?
Summer Olymipics?

What about college Graduation? No more “perfect Day?”
