There will be no MEAC fall sports season.
HBCU Gameday first reported and sources confirmed to the Tallahassee Democrat Thursday that the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference has canceled its seasons for all fall sports due to lingering concerns about the coronavirus. The MEAC confirmed the news in a release Thursday afternoon.
This means that sports, such as football, women's cross country and volleyball will not have a 2020 season, at least in the fall.
"The pageantry of fall sports, especially football, is a key part of the Florida A&M University experience; however, given the current trends with the global COVID-19 pandemic, the MEAC's suspension of fall sports is the right thing to do," FAMU President Larry Robinson said in a statement.
