Sun Belt cancels all organized athletics-related events

In order to address the growing concerns surrounding the spread of COVID-19, the Sun Belt Conference has announced that all organized athletics-related activities are canceled through the remainder of the academic year. This includes practices, regular-season competitions and conference championships.

“These are uncharted waters for us in college athletics and in our society, for which there is no playbook. Our hearts go out to all that are being affected by this pandemic,” said Director of Athletics Doug Gillin in a press release.

The decision comes just days after the NCAA decided to cancel all remaining 2020 winter and spring NCAA championships.
