There will be no sports at SUNY colleges this year.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) announced on Monday it would be suspending fall sports competition and delaying the winter conference and non-conference schedules until January 1, 2021.

The decision was made by the SUNYAC Presidents with the support of the SUNYAC Board of Directors.

"As a former student-athlete, I empathize with the disappointment our students must feel not being able to compete this fall," said Erik Bitterbaum, chair of the SUNYAC Presidents. "But our priority is the health and safety of everyone involved with intercollegiate athletics, and we will continue to plan for a safe return to competition at the appropriate time."
