The Big East conference on Wednesday announced that it is canceling all fall sports.
“This very difficult decision came after an exhaustive review by our Presidents and Athletics Directors and followed consideration of NCAA guidance, COVID-19 case counts and trend lines nationally and in BIG EAST communities, and the many unknowns surrounding testing availability, turnaround time and travel restrictions in our 11 locales,” said Commissioner Val Ackerman. Providence College is a member of the Big East.
Affected sports include men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s cross country, volleyball and field hockey. Student-athletes will be allowed to participate in team activities, such as practices, strength and conditioning sessions, and team meetings.
