• "As we continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation as it impacts our member colleges, the NJCAA has made the decision to suspend all spring competition through Friday, April 3^rd along with the postponement of basketball championships until April 20^th.
• "The NJCAA is also extending the hardship season competition ruling to 60%- should teams cancel their season before the limit is reached.
