IRVING, Texas – The American Athletic Conference Board of Directors has announced the conference's plan and timeline for the start of athletics competition for the Fall 2020 season.
Approval was unanimous after consultation with the conference's COVID-19 Medical Advisory Group, athletic directors and senior woman administrators.
The plan calls for regular-season intraconference competition in football, men's soccer, women's soccer and women's volleyball, capped by conference championship events in those sports, as well as men's and women's cross country. The American's 12 member schools will be able to schedule nonconference competitions in fall sports at their discretion, but under the guidelines and protocols set by the Medical Advisory Group.
