SCIAC cancels all fall and winter sports for 2020-21 because of COVID-19 concerns - Dec 15, 2020 
The Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, which is made up of nine colleges located throughout the Southland, on Tuesday, Dec. 1 canceled competition for all of its fall and winter sports this school year because of safety concerns caused by the coronavirus pandemic.'In accordance with public health guidance and safety standards, as well as NCAA Resocialization recommendations,' the SCIAC said in a news release, 'the SCIAC presidents have unanimously agreed to cancel conference competition, including championships, for all fall and winter sports during the 2020-21 academic year.' The decision came one day after Los Angeles County implemented tighter restrictions to protect public health and safety at a time when COVID-19 cases have risen significantly in Southern California. Orange County was moved into the purple tier (widespread virus) two weeks ago. The sports included in the decision are football, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's soccer, men's water polo, women's volleyball, men's and women's cross country and men's and women's swimming & diving. Some of the fall and winter sports had been hoping they could play conference-only schedules in the spring, but Tuesday's announcement eliminates that option. Courtesy of thesciac.org |
