The concerts were to feature a host of top-name artists including Fergie, Maroon 5, Kelly Clarkson, Fall Out Boy, Counting Crows, ZZ Top, Goo Goo Dolls, Dwight Yoakam, Taylor Swift, Montgomery Gentry, Good Charlotte, O.A.R. and The Black Crowes.

A rule interpretation by the NCAA last week would have limited participation by athletes in the shows, according to USA Today.

The NCAA’s Erik Christianson told USA Today MSL wanted to “use student-athletes’ participation to promote” the events and allow athletes into the concerts for free, both of which are against NCAA rules.

MSL President Shawn Garrity said in a statement “with valuable time being lost awaiting NCAA clarification,” the decision was made to hold events next fall and spring.

Ticket refund information will be available shortly, according to GridironBash.com.
