Statement from the SCAC Presidents Council Regarding COVID-19 & Athletics

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - Following a meeting of the league's President's Council, and in response to the outbreak of COVID-19, the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) has made the decision to indefinitely suspend all regular season conference and non-conference competition effective Monday, March 16.

SCAC leadership will engage in discussions with the NCAA about any and all implications of a suspension in conference competition; specifically, the league will request support for an extra year for all spring sport student-athletes whose seasons were just canceled.

Member institutions still have the ability to decide whether they will continue winter competition, or whether they will suspend all athletics-related activity for the entirety of the spring semester.
