The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) announced Monday that their fall sports schedule has been postponed, possibly until spring 2021. This move was anticipated, and as of right now, none of the colleges in the 518 will have sports this fall.
Meanwhile, the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) confirmed that the fall sports season has been delayed until at least September 21.
Where that could be problematic might in fact be the most popular fall sport, football. Because the players are in such close quarters on the field, football has the greatest risk of a fresh surge of coronavirus.
Cross country track, tennis, golf, and soccer can be played safely under appropriate guidelines. What the state is looking into now is whether or not athletes in those sports would actually be ready by mid-September. Stay tuned.
