The Ivy League has selected to cancel all autumn sports for the draw near the school season, while the spring football game has not been ruled out.
Football, box hockey, tennis and volleyball were canceled for the fall.
“You haven’t made a resolution [about spring football],” said a league source. “You’ll see him over the months. This has not been ruled out. The last school football game in the spring was played in the Ivy League in 1877, according to ESPN.”
When it comes to winter sports like basketball, you can’t play games until January 1, which can mean the elimination of games outside the conference, this is uncertain.
“Campus policies make it unimaginable to compete, no less than until the end of the fall semester,” EXECUTIVE Director Robin Harris told ESPN. “That’s why we’re pronouncing today. Eight campuses announced their fall policies two weeks ago. When we learned and citizens learned at the base of those campus policies that we can’t compete either, we had to be required for the student- The athletes were very familiar with the outcome.
“It’s the right resolution for the Ivy League, but it’s hard.”
Harris told ESPN that there is no timetable for the revival of competitive sports in the Ivy League.
“… I think what he wants to take position is that we are looking to see a replacement so that the wonder involves the spread of the virus to make it safer, and that would lead to a revival in the politics of our campus.” Said. “We hope that when you take positions, it will continue to evolve in athletics and eventually your best friend will return to the competition, but we are looking to get to the point where the virus does not pose as a wonderful defense threat as it is to our students, the netpaintings campus and our country. I can’t take long.”
The Ivy League was the first conference to cancel its postseason basketball tournament on March 10, the COVID-1nine pandemic, and this resolution can also cause a snowball in other football leagues, even if Ivy League football is never a factor of sport income.
“It’s a lousy indicator for school football,” said Paul Finebaum, ESPN’s school football contributor, on Thursday in “Get Up.” «… I think it’s time for football commissioners, sports managers and coaches to start confronting reality, and the fact is that the school football season is slipping away.
“They can keep hope, but if you look at what’s happening in the country, it’s bad news.”
Finebaum also noted that North Carolina (where 37 other Americans in the sports branch tested positive) and the state of Ohio temporarily despised athletics.
“It was the worst day college athletics had had since that March day (March 12) when everyone closed, and I don’t see things getting better,” he added Wednesday.
Finebaum added that it’s realistic to think there’s football at the station in the spring.
“Yes, I think it could be less complicated because through the vaccine, the therapeutic can be higher and I think the rustic can be extra,” he said.
“What happened [Wednesday] caused a tsunami in this counterattack from the point of view of school football. I’m a turning point, however, it’s the game’s big hitale hitale and it says a lot.”
Meanwhile, regarding March Madness and the NCAA Tournament, TCU head coach Jamie Dixon told me Wednesday that he expects a school basketball season “in one form or another” and that the NCAA wishes to somehow discapite to control his tournament safely. to some other giant economic loss. The NCAA reportedly lost $37 million by canceling March Madness this year.
“The NCAA will look for some way to organize the tournament safely, but it’s willing to adjust the schedule to do so,” Said Dixon, president of the National Basketball Coaches Association, over the phone on Wednesday. “They’re never going to organize a tournament that’s never very safe. The NCAA is hunting and I think it needs to be located somehow.”
