Officials remain unclear if masks and social distancing will be required for any upcoming sporting events on Wichita State’s campus. This news comes from the university announcing yesterday that all university employees must receive the COVID-19 vaccine, following President Biden’s order.

“We’re gonna not be in a hurry and see what’s best for our fans,” athletic director Darron Boatright said. “They’re will be some pushback no doubt about it but the good news and bad news is that we’ve been through this exercise before. We’re going to try to make it as easy for them as we can but we have regulations to adhere to.
