Mountain West Conference postpones the fall sports season; hopes to play football and other sports in spring

The Mountain West Conference has postponed its fall sports season due to player health and safety, the conference announced Monday. The vote to postpone fall sports were among league presidents.

“Nothing is more important than the health and well-being of our students, student-athletes, coaches, faculty, staff and overall communities,” said Dr. Mary Papazian, President at San José State University and Chair of the Mountain West Board of Directors, via a press release.

“Through the hard work of many over the past several months, the Conference made every effort to create an opportunity for our student-athletes to compete, and we empathize with the disappointment this creates for everyone associated with our programs.
