Patriot League Pulls The Plug


From a Patriot League release (LINK):

BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Recognizing the global COVID-19 pandemic continues to present significant challenges to our campuses and communities, the Patriot League Council of Presidents announces the following decisions regarding Patriot League competition: 
 
• Patriot League teams will not engage in competition in the fall season (championship and non-championship); 
 
• Decisions surrounding winter and spring sport competition will be made at a later date; and, 
 
• The opportunity for conditioning, strength training and other practice opportunities in all sports will be permitted provided health and safety conditions support such activities.

And . . .
The League is committed to exploring creative approaches and alternatives to providing future competitive experiences to our fall sport student-athletes, including the possibility of conducting fall sport competition and championships in the second semester.
