The Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association announced Friday the suspension of all fall competition through Jan. 1, 2021.
The MIAA will look into a limited number of competitions for fall sports in the spring.
The move affects two Oklahoma schools — the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond and Northeastern State in Tahlequah.
UCO will be without a football season this fall for the first time since 1945, which was the last of a three-year absence due to World War II.
Football, volleyball, soccer, and cross country had already seen their seasons adjusted with the MIAA’s earlier decision to delay the start of competition to Sept. 28. That followed the NCAA’s decision to cancel all fall sports championships.
Men’s and women’s golf, as well as tennis and rowing, all compete in the fall as well in a non-championship segment.
All of UCO’s 14 varsity sports, per the league’s statement, will still be permitted to practice according to the NCAA guidelines announced earlier this week.
The MIAA also announced it will make a decision regarding winter sports no later than Oct. 1.
