Minium: ODU's Dr. Wood Selig Says the Fall Sports Season is at a Critical Juncture

Old Dominion University Athletic Director Wood Selig says the coronavirus pandemic likely will force most if not all colleges and universities to cancel all fall sports this season and added that playing in the spring may not be as attractive an option as it appears unless there is a vaccine.

In a wide-ranging interview on which he touched on the various ways in which COVID-19 has affected college sports, his staff, athletes and him personally, Dr. Selig said little has changed since mid-March, when conference and the NCAA basketball tournaments were shut down and students were sent home because of the coronavirus.
