I've heard the Little East Conference is not far from cancelling the fall season. I believe UMass-Boston already has. Other schools involved are Keene State, Plymouth State, UMass-Dartmouth, Castleton, RIC, East and WestConn.

Based on coaching for 6 plus years in the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) I 100% agree. NESCAC seems to create the bar, NEWMAC follows suit, etc...and I believe a couple of those schools already have? As someone who knows a few seniors still on the fall team I coached (tennis), I'm hoping they figure out a way to play all these sports in the fall on a reduced schedule.

edit/update: based on the statement I'm reading it specifically says "NESCAC conference competition..." So I'm wondering if that leaves room for fall teams to schedule competition outside of conference? Or even within the conference but just not sponsored by NESCAC?

From email sent by Middlebury AD and President:

“At this time, Middlebury does not have any competitions scheduled for the fall. And we continue to consult the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Vermont Department of Health, and other authoritative sources on all public health issues and their potential bearing on Middlebury programming. If public health guidelines allow for any sort of limited competition at Middlebury, we will consider them at the appropriate time and only if it is safe to do so.”

So there’s a chance.

CAA football is going to announce tomorrow that they are cancelling the conference season but let teams play independently. James Madison is going to do this, but I can’t see many others following suit.

America East, A-10, and CAA(rest of sports) are rumored to be making their announcements on fall sports tomorrow.

FWIW, every D-III conference in the Northeast EXCEPT the Little East Conference has cancelled conference play for the fall.

At least one school (UMB) already cancelled. Expect the rest to follow at some point.

ACC:
With this in mind, the ACC Board of Directors announced that if public health guidance allows, all seven ACC sponsored fall sports will begin competition during the week of Sept. 7-12. The announcement follows several months of discussion and scenario planning among the league membership and Medical Advisory Group. Each decision is based on the best available medical guidelines and coincides with our universities’ academic missions.
