College sports cancelled: reactions

The last few days have been entirely unprecedented in the history of college sports. Never before has the entire sports calendar been cleared of all of its most important events in a matter of hours. There’s no question that the NCAA did the right thing, as these cancellations are certain to save untold numbers of lives. At the same time, our hearts go out to those athletes whose collegiate careers were either abruptly interrupted or brought to a conclusion. The subsequent outpouring of confusion, sadness, solidarity, and support has been extraordinary. Below, we’ve gathered some of the many statements made by college athletes and coaches in response to this unexpected series of events. Kelly Graves✔@GoDucksKG

It appears our ‘unfinished business’ will remain just that. Disappointed but I completely understand. I love & I hurt for my team

4 years gone in a blink of an eye. Savor every moment because you don’t know when it will be taken from you. I am so thankful for the opportunity to be able to play, and create lifelong relationships with the people I love. I will forever be grateful for UAB softball #goblazers

As coaches it’s our job to keep perspective & for the most part, we do a great job.

Today, when telling our women that the MVC & NCAA tournaments have been canceled will go down as one of the most difficult moments. I believe in & love these women. Thank u seniors! #BeBlue

All American…. blah blah.

With the season ending abruptly all I can do is sit here and remember the MEMORIES, THE PEOPLE, THE LOVE.

Thank you, @RiceWBB. I love y’all. I’m indebted to y’all. Every single person. The marathon still continues though, believe that.

What you did here was worthy. It mattered. It amounted to something. We felt it.

Every day you showed up for one another. You will continue to do that for each other in whatever is next for you because teammates are for life.

It ended too soon. We love you #6 #13 #17 #18

My heart is super heavy rn knowing that I will no longer sign another autograph or take another picture as a Gamecock. I will no longer step on CLA’s court and play with my sisters. These four years have flown & I’m forever thankful for the love that the FAMS show me Thank U

Unsettling and devastating but the absolute best decision for all.

I love this team #OneMore

I never thought that my chances of living my dream out, and playing in the NCAA tournament would just be taken away. It’s frustrating to know that’s how my senior year ended, but it’s all in Gods hands now. Thank you RazorbackNation for the endless support and cheer #WPS
