Conference Carolinas has delayed the start of practice for fall sports until Sept. 1, with league-only competition slated to begin on Sept. 18.
The agreement by the Board of Directors to delay making a decision on fall sports intercollegiate athletics competition is solely due to a desire to prioritize the student-athlete and ensure that all options have been considered,” Conference Carolinas Commissioner Chris Colvin said. “The board will reconvene early next week after considering the impact of the updated guidance related to COVID-19 testing and exploring if there is a reasonable and safe path forward for intercollegiate athletics this fall.”
