GAC suspends athletics for rest of academic year

RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. – The Great American Conference Council of Presidents announced an indefinite suspension of the conference’s sports activities – practices and competitions – for the remainder of the 2019-20 academic year effective immediately.

This decision follows the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s cancelation of all championships for the year.

The top priority for the Great American Conference and its membership is the health of student-athletes, staff, and our campus communities.  The conference office will work with the Council of Presidents to monitor all information impacting athletic departments during the remainder of the spring semester.

Additionally, the GAC will work with the NCAA to advocate for all affected conference student-athletes.
