BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Based on recent developments with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), Conference USA announced on Thursday all spring sport competitions are suspended until further notice. In addition, NCAA President Mark Emmert and the Board of Governors announced the cancellation of the Division I men's and women's 2020 basketball tournaments along with all remaining winter and spring NCAA championships.
The UAB Department of Athletics suspension applies to all competitions, practices and athletic related activities held on campus until further notice.
UAB has also announced it will transition to online or alternate instruction for academic courses following an extended spring break through at least March 24 in response to concerns about the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). This policy will be re-evaluated on or before Monday, April 6, 2020.
"We are continuously monitoring the evolving situation around COVID-19 and consider the safety of UAB student-athletes and staff, Blazer fans and the UAB community our top priority," Director of Athletics Mark Ingram said. "While we are disappointed about our inability to compete, we are taking this unprecedented situation very seriously in an effort to be proactive for the well-being of everyone associated with our programs."
UAB Football has canceled the Pepsi Spring Game previously scheduled for April 4, 2020 and has postponed spring practice. All activities during the Spring Game weekend, including the Bill Clark Golf Tournament and Dragon Egg Hunt, will also be suspended.
The UAB Athletics Ticket Office will be in contact with customers who purchased tickets directly from UAB to any affected spring events. Additional information will be sent to ticket holders for ticketed home athletic events beginning March 12.
