Big East cancels fall sports, looks to compete in the spring

Source: Omaha World Herald

The Big East joined the growing list of conferences not playing sports in the fall.

While the conference announced that men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s cross country, volleyball and field hockey won’t be contested in 2020, it will assess the possibility of playing in the spring of 2021.

Teams will still be allowed to practice and have team activities that are consistent with individual campus policies.

Winter sports are not affected at this time and will be evaluated at a later point.

We have season tickets for Creighton volleyball. This is the right thing to do.

If the Big Ten and PAC-12 can play in the spring, then two leagues should band together and have the conference champs play at the Rose Bowl.

Just like old times.
