The Big Sky Conference has officially canceled the season for spring sports according to a press release from the Big Sky.
The decision was voted on by the Big Sky Presidents’ Council and passed unanimously.
“This is undoubtedly the proper decision for the health and well-being of all involved with the Big Sky, even though it certainly is disappointing for many of our student-athletes and coaches,” Big Sky Commissioner Tom Wistrcill said in the press release. “While play may be paused, we as a conference office and staff remain absolutely committed to supporting our student-athletes, coaches, and administrators every way possible during this unprecedented period in college athletics. We eagerly look forward to our teams returning to practice and competition when it’s deemed safe to resume those activities.”
The Big Sky said that until further notice, all practices and workouts are canceled, but student-athletes who return to campus can still use facilities on a volunteer basis without coaches or other team personnel present.
The conference said it will regroup on April 3 to evaluate the situation for practices and workouts.
