The MIAA will look into a limited number of competitions for fall sports in the spring.

The University of Central Oklahoma will be without a football season this fall for the first time since 1945, which was the last of a three-year absence due to World War II.

Football, volleyball, soccer, and cross country had already seen their seasons adjusted with the MIAA's earlier decision to delay the start of competition to September 28. That followed the NCAA's decision to cancel all fall sports championships.

Men's and women's golf, as well as tennis and rowing, all compete in the fall as well in a non-championship segment.

All of Central's 14 varsity sports, per the league's statement, will still be permitted to practice according to the NCAA guidelines announced earlier this week.

The MIAA also announced it will make a decision regarding winter sports – for Central that is men's and women's basketball, wrestling, and Indoor track & field – no later than October 1.
