Somehow, sports are making their return to the fold after more than five months, but they definitely won’t look like how they used to and won’t be structured like normal.

There won’t be national championships for fall sports other than football, the NCAA announced on Aug. 13 due to the lack of schools that would be able to participate. NCAA President Mark Emmert said in a video that with such few schools participating, it wouldn’t be a fair tournament.

“We cannot now, at this point, have fall NCAA championships, because there’s not enough schools participating,” he said.

However, the Division I Board of Directors will be pursuing a viable way to have fall championships in the spring, the NCAA announced on Aug. 21.

Although teams won’t be competing for national titles, there’s still a shot at conference championships. Here’s what’s in store for each USF team’s league schedule this fall.

Women’s soccer

The Bulls are scheduled to play an eight-match single round-robin tournament with games taking place on Sundays. USF is expected to begin its season in Dallas against SMU on Sept. 6.

USF is the reigning AAC champion. The Bulls made it to the third round of the NCAA tournament last season, their deepest run in program history but were defeated by FSU 2-1.
