The First Domino Has Fallen

As a Packers fan, these cancellations due to Covid really hurt the base. I've been to Lambeau Field and it was an experience I'll never forget. It's an awesome place!

Sorry but I'm waiting for reruns of the WORLD CURLING CHAMPIONSHIP !!

I watched it and was pleasantly surprised. They're all WTA tour players and many of them have won one or more finals of the four Major tournaments.

Even though it's 5 1/2 months away, the 2021 Rose Parade has been cancelled for the first time in 75 years. No decision has been made on the Rose Bowl yet.

The NIAC has suspended all sports until January, member Red River College has suspended all sports for the entire school year.

Like the NWAC, the NIAC is an independent conference featuring mostly two year schools concentrated mostly in Minnesota and North Dakota, with a member each in South Dakota and Manitoba.

I'm not posting any updates from JUCOs since those are a dime a dozen and pretty much guaranteed that none of them will play, but Angelina College independently suspended their athletics for the entire school year:

The USCAA has suspended the Fall National Championships - based on the verbiage, I'm guessing that means the sports have been suspended as well although it's not explicitly stated.

The USCAA does sponsor football, however they only have two teams with Dean College's departure to the NCAA this season.

While heavily fragmented, the Northwoods League is, in fact, functioning to some degree. The pod operating in Southwest Michigan announced games will be 5 innings, no extras, and each game is to begin with a home run derby.

My understanding is that the league was fragmented into pods of geographically similar teams all operating out of one ballpark. There will be no league-wide playoffs this season, and each pod will only play each other. Temporary teams have formed to accommodate players from other summer leagues, as well as the American players of the Thunder Bay Border Cats.
