Bethune-Cookman University has cancelled all sports for the remainder of the 2020-21 season. The school became one of the first to opt out of the season Tuesday, citing the rise of COVID-19 in the United States.
School president E. LaBrent Chrite said the move was made after the university “concluded that the risks are too great for our student-athletes.”
"In the face of a surging COVID-19 spike across much of the country and the State of Florida, we have concluded that the risks are too great for our student-athletes and staff to travel and compete at this time," Chrite said.
