MVFC Shifts Focus to Spring

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – The Missouri Valley Football Conference Presidents Council has announced the league's schools will not conduct conference competition this fall.

In its unwavering commitment to providing meaningful and safe competitive opportunities for the Conference's student-athletes, the MVFC will play a full eight-game spring league schedule with the expectation to culminate the season with the FCS Playoffs. The Council also voted that competition in Fall 2020 be conducted at institutional discretion. The non-conference games that UNI football was scheduled to participate in were impacted when the Big Ten decided to go to a conference only schedule and the Big Sky pushed fall sports competition to the spring.
