NORFOLK, Va. — Norfolk leaders are expected to get an update from the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference on how the conference plans to carry out its games in the city.
MEAC Commissioner Dr. Dennis Thomas will be in Norfolk Tuesday evening to discuss possible operational plans during the COVID-19 pandemic with Norfolk City Council members.
MEAC announced in July that it would suspend all fall sports due to COVID-19 concerns and health risks. That affected college student-athletes who play football and volleyball or run cross country.
In an October announcement, MEAC set the schedules for the basketball and football seasons.
The conference set the basketball season start date for Jan. 2 while football season starts in late February. Championship tournaments won't begin until March and April.
