March Madness: How the NCAA Tournament was able to return in 2021

The NCAA announced that they will allow 25 percent capacity at games during the tournament, drawing thousands of diehard fans to the Hoosier state.

“I am not going to lie, we do have concerns about the risks and safety of both the players and the coaching staff, the families as well as the fans,” said Dr. Brian Dixon, Regenstrief Institute’s director of public health informatics. “We are excited that the tournament is coming here, but we recognize that there is some risk, so we are concerned that things could get out of hand if they are not managed tightly.”

NCAA has outlined safety protocols for teams traveling for the tournament, including extensive testing, social distancing and contact tracing before teams arrive and throughout the tournament. #WakeUpCLT #MarchMadness
