Atlantic 10 Postpones Fall Sports Due to Coronavirus Concerns

The Atlantic 10 announced Friday it will postpone all fall sports conference competitions and championships until spring 2021.

The conference said it will include a "look-in-window" in mid-September to allow for a "potentially truncated competitive schedule amongst conference opponents if the COVID-19 risk has substantially been reduced." If the risk levels do not improve, teams will continue training this fall to prepare to compete in the spring.

"Safety, health and the well-being of student-athletes, coaches, administrators and the campus community at large is the primary concern and responsibility of the Atlantic 10 Conference and its member institutions," the conference said in a statement.
