ST. PAUL, Minn. – In order to keep our community updated on the current COVID-19 situation and its effects on campus athletic operations, the following addresses the current athletic functions on campus.
 
Spring sports and their athletic competitions will continue as scheduled for student-athletes, coaches, training staff and athletic administrators until further notice. Housing, meals, and essential campus functions will remain open. Any spring sport student-athlete or staff member who does not feel comfortable staying on campus for practice or attending competitions (home or away) will be supported in their decision to remain home. Spring athletes remaining on campus will do so under a condition of social distancing, which includes NO visitors. Classwork will be done online even for those students living on campus. 
 
Please continue to monitor www.unweagles.com for the latest up to date information. Further information will be provided if additional changes occur. All updates will also be available on our social media channels (@unweagles).

As of 4 p.m. Thursday, March 14 – the NCAA issued a statement announcing the cancellation of all remaining winter and spring championships. The NCAA has established an advisory panel headlined by NCAA Chief Medical Officer Dr. Brian Hainline. More info on the panel can be found here. The NCAA has also put together a coronavirus resource page. 
 
Given this development, the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) governance councils will convene in a timely manner and discuss how the conference will approach the remainder of the 2020 spring sports season. The UMAC Council of Presidents/Chancellors will make any formal, final decisions related to UMAC schedules, UMAC tournaments and championships and other conference operations. In the interim, member institutions of the UMAC will continue to make campus decisions that are in the best interests of their athletics departments and other constituents.
