From NAIA President & CEO, Jim Carr: After convening the Council of Presidents Executive Committee this morning, and with input from the National Administrative Council and National Eligibility Committee, the decision has been made to cancel the spring 2020 sports season, effective immediately. We know this is extremely disappointing, especially for our student-athletes. All possible options for maintaining the spring season were discussed at great length by multiple governance groups. However, the growing state of emergency due to COVID-19, as well as the Center for Disease Control’s recommendation yesterday to limit gatherings to fewer than 50 Lewiston Tribune people for eight weeks, meant we who was enrolled full-time in 2020 on transfer regulations, and impacts could not in good conscience move will be awarded two additional to academic eligibility rules.

Self-quarantine might seem like a good time for some since they can stay at home with no class or work. For others it can be a dark time. Depression can come back if they are alone or feeling alone. It’s not a joke for everyone. If this is a serious matter to you, don’t let others belittle your thoughts and emotions. This will hopefully be over sooner than later. Try to be happy and virtually surround yourself with loved ones. Don’t keep your emotions bottle up. Talk it out with your support system which can be your friends and family, or even some f your professors. Someone out there does care. Meditation can be a great way to help clear your mind.
