MEMPHIS, Tenn. – In a "normal" year, University of Memphis rifle student-athlete Matt Dorey would have been packing his bags to travel from his home in Chestertown, Maryland to the Crossroads of America in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Dorey would have been one of approximately 200 student-athletes from all three NCAA levels (Divisions I, II, III) attending in-person the 11th-annual NCAA Career in Sports Forum (CISF) at NCAA headquarters Wednesday-Friday, May 27-29.
But, 2020 – particularly the last few months – has been anything but normal.
Collegiate athletics came to an abrupt halt in mid-March because of the pandemic and were canceled for the remainder of the 2019-20 calendar.
