MAC ON SPORTS: CCIW ANNOUNCES FALL SPORTS TO RETURN THIS SPRING
J. Thomas McNamara
The College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) announced today (Monday, Jan. 18), that if health conditions allow, the fall sports of football, men’s & women’s soccer and women’s volleyball will have the opportunity to compete in the spring.
Each member institution has the opportunity to determine if and how much competition is best for their program and the schedules were designed with that in mind. Some teams have opted not to compete this spring.
Games may be classified as scrimmages, exhibitions or countable contests as determined by each institution.
Women’s volleyball competition will begin the week of February 21, followed by football, and men’s & women’s soccer beginning on March 20. Institutions will schedule the exact dates and times of competition based upon available facilities and staff. A spring cross country meet is still to be determined.
There will be no conference championship or awards in these sports.
Campus and conference officials will continue to monitor federal, state, local and campus conditions and testing availability and will make changes as necessary.
