QUEENS, NY --- (www.YORKATHLETICS.com) Amidst the unprecedented challenges of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the City University of New York Athletic Conference and member Athletic Directors have made the difficult decision to cancel all intercollegiate competition, both traditional and non-traditional, scheduled for the 2020 fall semester.

With the safety and well-being of students, staff and faculty as their highest priority, the University has put in place physical distancing and safety protocols including limiting the size of on-campus gatherings. CUNYAC will adhere to these critical CUNY safety guidelines as part of our efforts to safeguard the health and well-being of our athletic community.

A decision on the remaining winter and spring sports competition calendar, and on whether fall sport competition would be feasible in the spring, will be determined at a later date. In addition, the University has not yet made a final determination on whether training and team practices will be allowed during the Fall or Winter season. However, athletics remains an important part of the experience for our students and our conference members will work together to make every effort possible to engage our student-athletes and accommodate all of our sports for the 2020-21 academic year.

CUNYAC and its members will continue to monitor federal, state, and local guidelines, and will consult with each other as well as with the NCAA and NJCAA. We will provide updates as information becomes available.
