Covid Impact on Conference Scheduling

hopefan · July 22, 2020, 04:55:00 PM

I felt as we get closer to the "normal" school year, the readers of D3hoops would most easily keep up to date with conference reschedules, postponements or cancellations in one spot.... as far as I'm concerned, fall sports announcements could be reported here too, as they would likely help prepare us all for winter changes....

To start, it was reported in the NCAC room today... that all sports in the NCAC have been suspended until at least December 31, 2020.

From what I have gathered, these are the conferences that have suspended all competition through the end of 2020, which would mean basketball would not start on time:

Liberty
North Coast
Old Dominion
SAA

And this page also denotes which schools/conferences are out for the full fall semester, not just the fall sports season.

Yikes, I had no idea the list was already so significant... the D3sports item supplies it all.... I'll have to start checking it, as for all these years I've been 99% D3hoops with a smattering of D3football...

Pat this page that I started probably isn't required... feel free to take down....

I actually like it if it can be used as a central hub for school and conference shutdowns.

I noticed Babson wasn't listed with the NEWMAC schools. Here is the statement released the other day.

Add the NACC to the list of all sports postponed for the fall semester.

Announced July 27

The President's Council of the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SLIAC), after much deliberation and discussion, has voted to postpone the 2020 fall competition in the team sports of volleyball and soccer and move both sports to a spring 2021 season.

Men's and Women's Cross Country, Men's and Women's Golf and Men's and Women's Tennis will be allowed to have limited competitions during the fall of 2020 while following the directives of local, state, and national health organizations.

What about field hockey? I'm on the East Coast so excuse my naivete...............what about football?

^^^ The SLIAC does not sponsor field hockey or football. While there are three or four conference schools that still have football programs, they affiliate elsewhere for conference play. To my knowledge there are no schools in the SLIAC that have field hockey teams.

Field hockey is strictly a northeastern thing.

That used to be the case for lacrosse as well, but that sport has made some serious inroads in the midwest over the past generation. But I don't foresee field hockey following suit.

The NJAC just announced no fall sports.

Nope ... FH won't... Lacrosse has and I love it (spread cross the country) ... but FH has it's spots but not many. Even Stanford cut FH!
