BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Mid-South Conference Commissioner Eric Ward announced today the postponement of fall sports to spring 2021 due to concerns surrounding COVID-19. The decision comes following last week's administrative council meetings and subsequent approval by the MSC Council of Presidents.
 
The sports impacted by the decision are men and women's cross country, men and women's soccer, and women's volleyball. The regular-season conference schedule is slated to precede the championships in the spring.
 
Conference regular season and tournament dates will be announced following the NAIA's release of national championships dates.
 
In football, each of the three divisions will independently determine conference play. With the football footprint spanning over seven states, each division's administrative council was given the authority to make the decision on fall play based on state and federal regulations within its geographical area. An announcement on the football schedule will come later this week once all three divisions' leaderships have met.
 
The three Mid-South Conference football divisions are the Appalachian, Bluegrass, and Sun divisions. The Tigers are part of the Bluegrass divisions along with Bethel, Cumberland (Tenn.), Cumberlands (Ky.), Georgetown, Lindsey Wilson, Pikeville, and Thomas More as the leadership of those schools will get together to make a determination on the 2020 Bluegrass season this week.
 
While the conference schedule is adjusted, institutions are given the autonomy to play non-conference games this fall.
 
Campbellsville University has not made any determinations about non-conference games and will announce updates to non-conference schedules as decisions are become finalized.

Later this evening, CU will stream a discussion on campbellsvilletigers.com/watch and the Campbellsville Athletics Facebook hosted by Jordan Alves as Vice President for Athletics and Student Services Rusty Hollingsworth, CU Health at Work Officer and Interim Director of Global Engagement Dave Walters, Director of Athletics Jim Hardy, and Director of Athletic Training Services Derek Port will answer relevant health and safety questions as it pertains to athletics and the CU campus.
