ACC Cancels All Athletic Activities

Following further consultation with the league's member institutions, and after previously suspending all athletic activities indefinitely, the ACC has made the decision to cancel all athletic related activities including all competition and practice through the end of the 2019-20 academic year. The unanimous decision was made to mitigate the further spread of COVID-19. Each institution will continue to work in accordance with its respective university and state policies related to its individual campus decisions.

"Our top priority remains the health and safety of our student-athletes as well as our fans, communities and the overall well-being of others during these uncharted times," said ACC Commissioner John Swofford. "We are particularly disappointed for our student-athletes and will continue to work with our membership to assess what is appropriate in the future."

Statement from Boston College Athletics Director Martin Jarmond
"This is a challenging time for all of us and the health and safety of our student-athletes, staff and community remains our top priority and concern. We agree completely with the ACC's decision to cancel the remainder of the spring sports. We hope everyone continues to take the necessary precautionary and protective measures resulting from the evolving public health concerns."
