Cumberland University Announces Fall Sports To Be Moved To Spring 2021

  • Monday, August 10, 2020

Mid-South Conference Commissioner Eric Ward announced on Monday the postponement of fall sports to spring 2021. The decision gives each institution autonomy to play non-conference games this fall.

The decision from the Mid-South stems from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics' (NAIA) announcement to move fall championships to the spring on July 31.

The Mid-South Conference administrative council came to the conclusion with the approval from the MSC Council of Presidents. 

"Our main objective is to keep our student-athletes safe and healthy,” said Ron Pavan, vice president for Enrollment Services and director of Athletics. “Their well-being is the key to our success in athletics. Our theme this year is agility as we continue to make changes and pivot in the non-conference competition this fall based upon state, local, and regional guidelines." 

Men's and women's soccer, women's volleyball, men's and women's cross country, and football will play their regular-season conference games in the spring with championships to follow.

Conference regular season and tournament dates will be decided when the NAIA releases national championship dates.
