(Stats Perform) - In announcing on Wednesday the Big South won't have fall competition due to the COVID-19 pandemic, commissioner Kyle Kallander thought back to March 12, when student-athletes were pulled off the court during the conference's women's basketball tournament.

"I honestly didn't think we'd be sitting here, five months later," Kallander said, "doing the same thing with our fall sports."

The Big South became the 10th of 13 overall conferences in FCS college football to shift its focus toward playing its fall schedule during the spring semester. However, it joined two other conferences, the Colonial Athletic Association and the Missouri Valley Football Conference, in allowing member schools to decide whether they would play nonconference games this fall.
