CEDAR FALLS – Early Friday afternoon, the Missouri Valley Conference Presidents Council delivered heart-breaking news to its student-athletes.

The Conference announced that with the uncertainty around the ability to play full-season league schedules during the current COVID-19 pandemic it has decided to postpone conference play and championships in all MVC-sponsored fall sports.

This news came a week after the MVFC announced it was going to postpone football until the spring in hopes of being able to play an eight-game regular season and potentially a reduced playoffs.
