The NCAA has set guidelines for fall sports. They will meet again on August 12th. Dog1970 mentioned this in the Misc Twitter Stuff thread, but it deserves it's own thread. A full season and postseason certainly seem doubtful due to possible lawsuits and NCAA sanctions backlash.
- Member schools may not require student-athletes to waive their legal rights regarding COVID-19 as a condition of athletics participation.
- All student-athletes must be allowed to opt out of participation due to concerns about contracting COVID-19. If a college athlete chooses to opt out, that individual’s athletics scholarship commitment must be honored by the college or university.
- The NCAA will establish a phone number and email to allow college athletes, parents or others to report alleged failures. The Association will notify school and conference administrators, who will be expected to take immediate action.
- If 50% or more of eligible teams in a particular sport in a division cancel their fall season, there will be no fall NCAA championship in that sport in that division.
