“The Big West membership, inclusive of our Board of Directors, Directors of Athletics, Senior Woman Administrators, team physicians and athletic trainers, continues to meet and assess the current status of COVID-19 both nationally and across the Big West Conference footprint,” the league said in a statement. “We are being diligent in our approach focused on student-athlete safety and well-being, testing capabilities, medical and facility protocols, amongst many factors.  A direction related to the fall 2020 sports season will be announced no later than Aug. 1.”

A handful of leagues including the Southeastern Conference have already announced a delay to their volleyball, soccer and cross country fall seasons amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
