SAN ANTONIO — The Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference announced on Thursday that they have decided to postpone all NCAA Division III sports scheduled for fall of 2020.
"Not unlike the decision we had to make this past spring, today's decision was difficult and not taken lightly," said SCAC Commissioner Dwayne Hanberry. "At the very least, it is extremely frustrating to find ourselves seemingly right back where we were in March."
Trinity University President Danny J. Anderson is a member of the SCAC Presidents Council, which voted unanimously on this decision. The conference also includes Austin College, the University of Dallas, Southwestern University, Texas Lutheran University, and Schreiner University.
Trinity University plays football in the Southern Athletic Association, so their schedule is not impacted by the SCAC decision. However, later on Thursday, the SAA postponed their football season.
A release from Schreiner said that their soccer, cross country and volleyball teams will be impacted, as well as golf and tennis. They said the non-NCAA programs (Wrestling, Shotgun, Rifle, Bass Fishing, Cycling and Equestrian) are not affected by this decision at this time.
“Schreiner University is committed to providing an athletic experience this fall for our athletes through practice and intra-squad competition, and we hope to provide an intercollegiate competitive athletic experience for our fall athletes and all our student-athletes as soon as the circumstances allow,” said Bill Raleigh, Schreiner University Athletic Director.
