Rumor on the Ivy board is that there's an announcement coming from the IVY League that all fall sports are cancelled - what a blow if true ! have to believe similar discussions are going on among the PL presidents - do they feel compelled to follow with a similar edict since they are considered a high academic league as well ? I am already depressed at this possibility

Insanity-we see it everywhere, but let’s hope this rumor proves to be untrue

That would be very bad news. Not surprising. Just very bad. Hoping for a compromise position from most leagues to play league games only with fan limitations.

That poster on voy 'deepthroativy' is not a regular poster. So I take he/she and the post with a grain of salt. Most of the regular, trustworthy posters on voy are clever enough to phrase a topic such as that in conditional / reliable rumor phrasing, and not the out-right declarative.
I don't think there will be any official IL announcement until the IL schools decide what their fall openings will be like.
Further, the logic would be that the IL would cancel winter sports as well, as their schedules begin during the fall semester.

Might be a good idea to change the title of this thread, until if/when what's it implies actually happens, as it's false info.

Duke reviews what other schools are doing re: fall semester. www.dukechronicle.com/article/2020/05/duke-university-reopening-remote-learning-other-colleges-universities-planning-fall-coronavirusOf particular note in the Duke article, the Cal State University system will not open for on-campus learning. The University of California system (there is a big difference between the two systems) will open in the fall with on-campus instruction. After reading the Duke Chronicle (I believe it is an official publication of the university) article, I believe 'deepthroativy' is probably just stirring the pot. The Duke article covers the Ivies in depth, and their timeline for decisions. Any imminent IL sports announcement would be jumping the gun, and I would think raise the ire of the IL presidents. |

Agree with this only being circulated by one individual - I should have added a '?' to the thread topic
nevertheless, there are many experts predicting a 2nd round in the fall and if school administrators attach their decision making to these theories, I fear for the worst.

Quinnipiac's plans to reopen www.wfsb.com/news/quinnipiac-university-announces-plans-for-fall-semester/article_136c3cba-9f8a-11ea-b10d-1f189690b9b7.html?fbclid=IwAR0_wJ1o6RwKo8f2urfJPZrXI5Wom22qCT7rmGSdEOPWNi0cKcVIU98gGdcThe following schedule was released on Tuesday: Monday, Aug. 10 - Sunday, Aug. 23: We’re strongly encouraging an “early drop-off” option for students living within driving distance of Quinnipiac to drop off belongings in their rooms and return home. This will be a same-day, in-and-out drop-off without an overnight stay. This is not the move-in period. Advance sign-up will be required for preset time slots, and this option will be very helpful in reducing and spacing out the time and traffic involved with move-in later in August while supporting necessary social distancing. Monday, Aug. 24: Instruction begins for all residential and non-residential students.* Students begin living in residence halls, with arrivals scheduled on a staggered basis. The early drop off of belongings by many of our students will serve to accelerate this process. Online instruction will be used the first week or two to support this staggered schedule and for the administration of state-required COVID testing of all students upon their return. Monday, Sept. 7: Classes will be held on Labor Day. All students will be participating in in-class instruction by this date, if not before, assuming that testing has been completed for all remaining students.** Further details will be provided in the coming weeks explaining how testing will be conducted and how students will alternate between in-class and online attendance in order to manage social distancing requirements. Tuesday, Nov. 24: On-ground classes conclude. Students depart for Thanksgiving break and will not return to campus after this break. Monday, Nov. 30 – Saturday, Dec. 12: Fall classes, review sessions, office hours, reading days and final exams will be completed online. |

I like the early drop off and the staggered move in slots to protect older family members helping out with the move. I think asking residential students to stay on campus for the semester and forgo weekend visits home is another reasonable request by colleges. I like having the semester finished by Thanksgiving. It gives colleges a better shot at controlling the environment on campus, even though you can't seal off a campus. The alternate on campus/online is also interesting which may allow for single room occupancy when the student has his on campus segment. |

Here's a way to protect older family members...no idea what it will be like in August in Hamden, CT, by why not a discussion of using masks in that announcement? A good piece of preparedness and gets the point across that it isn't necessarily over yet

University of Hartford has copied the Quinnipiac plan and will have a virtually identical schedule for the first semester.
