CTbaseballDad mentioned the flight restrictions earlier but the Holy Cross back to school email, which came out this afternoon, outlined the patriot league sport plans as follows:
The Patriot League Council of Presidents recently announced the principles on which the League will develop a Fall 2020 plan. While we are working on our plans as they relate to non-league competition, Holy Cross Athletics will follow these principles as they consider their plan for returning to Patriot League competition:
• | Student-athletes will return to campus at the same time as other students; |
• | Patriot League competition will begin at the end of September, with the expectation that League play will be completed prior to Thanksgiving; |
• | Non-League competition will not begin prior to Friday, Sept. 4; |
• | Patriot League member institutions will confirm that non-League competitors are following comparable health and safety protocols in advance of any contest; and, |
• | No Patriot League teams will fly to competitions and, with rare exceptions, regular-season competition will exclude overnight travel. |
