FARMINGTON, Utah (May 11) -- The Big Sky Conference's Presidents' Council voted today to allow its members to make institutional decisions in accordance with NCAA policies regarding when its student-athletes will resume practice and competition. The Presidents' Council also approved several changes to a number of the Big Sky Conference schedules and championships for the 2020-21 academic year, maintaining the high-quality student-athlete experience that has been a hallmark for the league throughout its 57-year history while providing significant cost savings for its member institutions.
"As we prepare to enter a year that surely will be unlike any other, I applaud the foresight our leadership has shown in allowing our institutions to make their own decisions within NCAA rules about when it's appropriate to resume practice and competition on their own campuses," Commissioner Tom Wistrcill said.
