KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The NAIA announced today that effective immediately, it will be cancelling all remaining winter championship events, including those that are currently underway.

The health and safety of our student-athletes, as well as all involved in our championship events, is the NAIA’s highest priority. We will continue to monitor COVID-19 developments and NAIA leadership will work closely with our member institutions to determine the best path forward for future NAIA events, including all spring 2020 championships.

Grace College, Indiana Wesleyan, IUSB and Holy Cross were all local institutions competing in the NAIA Division II men’s basketball tournament that was just cancelled. Grace was scheduled to compete today at 1:45 p.m. against West Virginia Tech.

The NCCAA has not decided, as of 1 p.m. Thursday, if it will continue on with the NCCAA men’s and women’s basketball championships scheduled for next week at Grace College.
