The Big South Conference became the latest Division I league to postpone or cancel the 2020 fall season, announcing that it would aim to play fall sports, including soccer, in the spring.

“We are all broken-hearted that we will not be able to provide competitive opportunities for Big South student-athletes this fall,” Big South Commissioner Kyle Kallander said in a statement. “However, the path forward must protect the health and safety of our student-athletes, and some of the current trends and unknowns with COVID-19 have made that a huge challenge. Our intention is to shift these fall seasons to the spring as we would like nothing more than to crown Big South champions in all 19 of our sports this year.”
