This evening our athletic partner, Conference Carolinas, voted to suspend athletic competition indefinitely in order to allow its member institutions to focus on the challenges related to the COVID-19 outbreak. This follows today’s decision of the national NCAA to cancel all championships for all sports at all levels for the remainder of this semester. North Greenville University will follow suit, discontinuing competition effective immediately. We anticipate communicating additional information to our student-athletes and coaches as soon as details are available.

RELEASE FROM CONFERENCE CAROLINAS

The safety and well-being of Conference Carolinas student-athletes, coaches, administrators and fans are always of the utmost importance. For this reason, Conference Carolinas has made the difficult decision due to the evolving COVID-19 public health threat to suspend all athletics competition until further notice.  

“We fully understand the ramifications of what this means for our student-athletes, coaches and administrators who put in so much hard work daily for their institutions, but we feel this is the right decision currently,” Commissioner Chris Colvin said. “Our first priority is always the protection of our student-athletes along with our coaches and administrators. I would like to thank all of our presidents and administrators for working together to help us make this incredibly tough decision.”

Earlier today, the NCAA made the decision to cancel all remaining winter and spring championships, which includes all winter NCAA Division II competitions in which Conference Carolinas institutions are presently competing.
