UVA just announced students are not supposed to return from spring break (which they are on) until further notice. No gatherings of 100 or more people are allowed. Online classes to start March 18th.
A D1 lacrosse game has over 100 people if you count trainers and coaches. I wonder how that will be counted. I think the NCAA Basketball Tournament is a big factor here. If they determine that they need to play in empty venues it could be the end of spring sports.

Limiting the number of fans who can attend events is the next step towards cancelling seasons.
guys - Ryan sent a VERY detailed and thoughtful email/letter on the entire subject. The facts I posted are pulled straight from his letter. No events of over 100 people unless at JPJ or athletic. They don't want kids to come back from spring break, but will accommodate those who have to, and allow kids to come get stuff they need. They are even offering financial assistance to those who need it. It is clear that a good amount of thought went into the plan and letter. It includes a good amount of humility and acknowledgement that this is new territory and no one really knows what the heck they are doing.
I would also like to thank all of you for your patience and understanding. Put simply, UVA has never encountered something quite like this. There is no roadmap for trying to put most of the University curriculum online in a week. But I have enormous faith in this community—in your resilience, your willingness to do your part to keep others safe, and your ability to make the most of a very difficult situation.
Now with the Ivy league cancelling spring sports - it may make some of the athletic stuff irrelevant....
