The Ivy League became the first Division I conference yesterday to announce that it would not be engaging in sports this Fall, ruling out all sports for the time being, which includes, naturally, all of their football programs. Many believe that it won’t be the only conference to take a similar approach while the Covid-19 pandemic continues to surge, with outbreaks on a number of college campuses already as team preparations began last month.
It should be noted that the current decision applies only to the sports programs intended to play this Fall. No decision has yet been reached about Winter or Spring sports, nor whether or not Fall sports will be postponed until the Spring.
