The Mid-American Conference will be delaying the start of the fall sports season. This means that field hockey, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, women’s volleyball, and men’s and women’s cross country competition will now be delayed until September 3rd.
The conference says it made the move out of caution for the health and well-being of student-athletes, coaches, and others involved. The start of those other sports is now aligned with the start of the football season. Speculation regarding sports continues to keep fans, athletes, coaches and administrators on their toes.
