FORT WORTH, TEXAS –Commissioner Mike Aresco has announced that, effective immediately, the American Athletic Conference will suspend all spring sports competition until further notice.
The decision to suspend competition was made after consultation with member institutions as part of a continued effort to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus and to protect student-athletes, coaches, institutional and event staff, media and spectators.
The Conference will continue to evaluate risks associated with intercollegiate athletics competition in conjunction with local and state health authorities.
"The health and well-being of our student-athletes, coaches and staff is our top priority as we assess the near and long-term potential impacts," said Wichita State Director of Athletics Darron Boatright.
