The Mountain West Conference Board of Directors revealed a revised fall sports schedule and other guidelines on Wednesday.
The new plan coincides with requirements announced by the NCAA Board of Governors in an effort to limit student-athletes’ exposure to COVID-19.
“This decision is designed to allow additional time to monitor ongoing developments related to the status of the COVID-19 virus, continue all necessary preparations for the potential return to competition and retain the opportunity for student-athletes to participate in their respective sports,” a conference press release said.
Football games are now scheduled to begin the week of September 26.
