The CIAA has canceled its 2021 men’s and women’s basketball seasons
The Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association was set to begin basketball season Jan. 9, but fans will have to wait to see their favorite schools play. The league announced Monday that due to COVID-19 concerns, the board of directors voted to cancel the 2021 men’s and women’s season. The board also voted to cancel volleyball season, which was moved from the fall to the spring. Virginia State University, located in Petersburg, Va., announced Dec. 1 that they were canceling its basketball season and many feared the rest of the conference would follow. “This was not an easy decision or one that was taken lightly by the CIAA Board, Virginia State President and CIAA Board Chair Makola Abdullah said in a statement. “We all want to have a season, and we want our student-athletes, coaches and staff to have a season. However, the data, which changes almost daily, does not support such a decision. The potential risk outweighs the desire to play.”
