The SAC announced on Friday that it will delay the start of all scheduled competition for fall sports until September 26.

The teams which compete in fall competition will be looking at a conference-only schedule.

SAC Commissioner Patrick Britz said that although there is no guarantee to a season, this is at least a scenario in which sports are being played.

“This was a very difficult decision, but one we feel has the best interest of our student-athletes, coaches, administrators, and fans in mind,” Britz said. “We all understand the desire everyone has to get back out there and play games, but the health and safety of our student-athletes take precedence over playing at this time. It is our responsibility to ensure their safety above all else.  While this does not guarantee our fall sports will be able to compete during their traditional season, a delayed start gives us the best chance to continue to monitor the situation.”
