Ivy League Schools Cancel Spring Sports Season Amid Pandemic

The Ivy League, comprised of eight elite colleges in the U.S. Northeast, won’t hold a spring sports season or compete in or host league championships, as the Covid-19 pandemic continues to present threats to athletes and the community.

“While we would like nothing better than to deliver a complete season of competition, these are the necessary decisions for the Ivy League in the face of the health concerns posed by the ongoing and dangerous pandemic,” the universities’ presidents said in a joint statement Thursday.
