  • Hampton University suspends fall sports

    • 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.

      • 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 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.

          • 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.

                  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.

                  • 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!

                    • The University of Wisconsin satellite campuses have suspended sports. I believe they are all non-football. If I am correct, they all compete in their own independent JUCO conference and aren't apart of the NJCAA - however they do regularly compete against NJCAA schools.

                        • Here's an article about what could happen to College Gameday this season - something interesting to think about:

                          • A post from Ohio-Chillicothe's softball Facebook page (July 11):

                            "Message from the University to our OHIO Chillicothe student athletes: You deserve to fulfill your educational goals in a setting that provides you with the safest experiences. We believe that all of the planned interventions for the fall semester will provide that. Three of our regional campuses provide students the opportunity to engage in competitive athletic experiences as an extracurricular activity. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were exploring the possibility of transitioning to club/intramural athletic opportunities and away from the current conference athletic teams due to increasing costs. The pandemic has accelerated these discussions and led us to reconsider moving forward with our current athletic programs.

                            Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to be able to implement the safeguards that are required for safe competitive sports on our regional campuses. Although we will not offer athletic programs this academic year, we understand that the opportunity to engage in healthy physical activity is extremely important to many of our students, and so we plan to resume athletic programming through club/intramural type opportunities once it is safe for us to do so."


                            I'm guessing the ORCC is going to suspend sports for the entire year. They don't have a website or centralized social media efforts, so I don't know for sure. I really hope the entire conference doesn't fold, they have existed since the 1970s.

                            If you can't tell, I like these tiny oddball conferences. I don't really want to see them fold.

                            • Not that exciting, but Syracuse is switching to mobile ticketing as a small precaution against COVID-19
