Frazier provides information behind canceling sports, gives plan moving forward

DeKALB — In a letter addressed to everyone in Huskie Nation Wednesday, Associate Vice President and Director of Athletics Sean T. Frazier laid out the timeline for the cancellation of winter championships and the entire spring sports season, while also providing information on moving forward.

In a time he called “one of the most tumultuous and stunning 48 hours in my professional career,” Frazier outlined the decision making that led to the cancellation of last week’s Mid-American Conference men’s and women’s basketball tournaments.

As the dominos continued to fall throughout the sports world, Frazier also explained the decision to cancel all spring sports, as well as in-person recruiting, citing the health and safety of everyone involved and the challenges of having the league’s campuses being in various states of closure.
