    SportZ 0 Comments

    Over the past couple of weeks, as COVID-19 cases spiked in more than half of the 50 states, numerous college athletes in various sports have tested positive for the virus. Recently, in light of these reports, a growing number of universities are announcing the cancellation of fall sports this year. Currently, this list includes the Ivy League, MIT, Morehouse, and the Centennial Conference. The pandemic has forced universities to contemplate alternatives regarding housing and education for their students – by doing so, more and more schools have concluded that adding sports into the equation this semester was not worth the risk. Although this may be disappointing for athletes and fans alike, especially those who tune in to college football, this will ultimately be the best decision. As coronavirus continues its resurgence, the safety of students and faculty becomes a top priority for universities. Hopefully, as time goes on, this virus can be brought under control, and the suspension of college athletics won't extend beyond this season.
