A month from now, when this is over, the NCAA will likely be facing their own demise and deservedly so.

Cancelling June championships in early March is perhaps the most batshit insane thing I've seen in my entire life.

I agreed somewhat, initially. I was surprised to see the College World Series and the Women's College World Series cancelled.

However, thinking about it, I can see the point of view. If everything is shutdown for a month, including the actual schools, and there's no place to train, getting the players back in shape to be ready to play would take another 2 weeks or so, which takes you into early May. That would leave a month to finish the season and play regionals before starting the respective World Series in late May/early June. From that point of view, you either cancel it or have a potentially bad product on the field.

Sucks, but the best move out of the options.
