Due to COVID-19, the world has been put on hold and sports are no exception. Drake University’s Athletic Department recently announced that all spring sports will come to an abrupt end.
The sadness and disappointment over this cancellation is felt not only by Drake but all across the United States where many colleges have made the same difficult decision.
Student-athletes found out about the suspension of all seasons via email from
Drake University Assistant Athletic Director Dan Anderson.
The email affirms that Anderson and other Missouri Valley Conference directors voted unanimously that all-conference spring sports would be canceled for the remainder of the 2020 spring season.
