Basketball. Baseball. Softball. Track & Field. Golf. Tennis.
All of these sports are canceled for the semester at Marshall University due to concerns over coronavirus, and none of the athletes apart of these sports will have a chance to earn athlete of the week honors through their performances.
Thus, this week’s athlete of the week honor is symbolically going to every athlete who competes in a spring sport.
Although the disappointment of not getting to play this season is immeasurable, there is hope for the spring athletes and their eligibility moving forward.
Basketball is a technically a winter sport that carries over into the spring, so details on how eligibility for basketball athletes will play out has not been determined by the NCAA.
