As of Friday, July 31, Drew University has postponed all in-conference sports contests for the fall semester. The decision came following a unanimous vote by the Landmark Conference Executive Board to postpone all contests within the conference for all schools. In terms of New Jersey colleges, only Seton Hall and Rutgers still plan to go forward with their fall sports programs and will play in-conference games only.
CBS News reported that the coronavirus cases have hit 180,000 within New Jersey since March and just over 14,000 deaths have been recorded in the state. Though it seemed the trajectory of new cases was trending downwards, the report from last Thursday also stated that there had been an uptick of more than 2,000 new cases over a four-day period.
