Ivy League postpones football, fall sports as questions remain around coronavirus

The Ivy League announced Wednesday, July 8, that they will be postponing all fall sports for the upcoming 2020-21 season. They are the first league to make a decision regarding the future of athletics for the fall as the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues nationwide.

The Ivy League is cancelling all fall sports. Winter sports (including hockey and basketball) won't begin until after Jan. 1 which could cause some widespread issues.
