NAIA officials have made the decision to delay virtually all fall sports championships. The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Council of Presidents voted Tuesday to postpone the national championships in cross country, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, and women’s volleyball to spring 2021.
However, the decision does still allow NAIA conferences to compete in the fall and winter, if they so choose.
The timing of the football national championship will be determined at a subsequent COP meeting on Friday. Due to unique challenges surrounding football, COP members decided they needed more time to obtain feedback from their colleagues.
Prior to Tuesday’s vote, 51 NAIA individual institutions had already opted to postpone fall competition until spring 2021.
