NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — On a day that may see the end of college football in the fall of 2020, the Sportswrap has learned that Old Dominion University has canceled all fall sports, including football, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“We concluded that the season – including travel and competition – posed too great a risk for our student-athletes,” said ODU President John Broderick. “I know many on and off campus will be disappointed, but we must prioritize the health and safety of our student-athletes, as well as our coaches, staff and fans.”
Athletic Director Wood Selig hopes fall sports can be played in the spring.
