Another Division I conference is canceling fall sports due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Patriot League, which competes at the FCS level in football, announced Monday that it will not participate in fall competition. The decision makes the Patriot League the second D-I conference to cancel fall sports, joining the Ivy League.
“The collegiate athletics experience at all Patriot League institutions is valuable to fulfilling our educational and developmental missions, and the League recognizes that any degree of non-competition this fall is deeply disappointing to our student-athletes, coaches, and fans. However, the health and safety of our campuses and communities must be our highest priority,” the league said in a press release.
