In June, the NCAA announced the first Tuesday in November will be a day off so athletes can vote in the upcoming election.
As a result, San Diego State athletic fields, gymnasiums and practice facilities will be closed on Nov. 3.
Since the NCAA’s announcement to encourage voting, SDSU Athletics has been pushing all of its teams to go out and vote on Election Day.
Aztec women’s volleyball Head Coach Brent Hilliard said he appreciates the NCAA’s decision because it gives the athletes the opportunity to exercise their civic duty and spread the word.
