Dear Georgetown Athletics Community,
The BIG EAST Conference announced an update on fall sports. Due to the unprecedented and continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, BIG EAST fall sports schedules will not include any non-conference competition.
No decision is being made at this time regarding BIG EAST fall sports conference competition and championships. In the coming weeks, the BIG EAST will continue to monitor COVID-19 conditions across the country and in BIG EAST communities and will provide further updates on dates and formats as appropriate. All decisions regarding plans for fall conference competition shall continue to be guided first and foremost by the health and safety of BIG EAST campuses and its athletics program participants and in accordance with NCAA actions and policies.
The sports affected are: men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s cross country, volleyball and field hockey. BIG EAST winter and spring sports seasons remain unaffected at this time.
Georgetown will continue to work closely with the BIG EAST and the NCAA regarding the status of fall athletics. Coaches of fall sports have calls with their teams today. For updated campus information, please refer to Georgetown’s Fall 2020 Plan. I ask that you stay safe and know that we are all in this together. Thank you for your continued patience.
Sincerely,
Lee Reed
