ACC suspends fall sports till Sept. 1. See how the ruling affects Louisville.

The Atlantic Coast Conference is putting fall competitions on hold until at least Sept. 1 due to the coronavirus pandemic, a move that won’t affect football as of now.

The league announced the decision Thursday impacting non-revenue sports such as soccer, volleyball, field hockey and cross country. North Carolina State and Louisville meet on Sept. 2 in the first football game involving any league teams.

Schools won’t be able to hold exhibitions or regular-season competition before that date, and it will be up to the schools to determine whether to reschedule any affected events. But the ACC isn’t barring teams from holding workouts and preseason practices “in anticipation of a fall season.”

The decision was unanimously approved by the ACC Board of Directors.

The move affects six exhibitions/scrimmages and seven regular-season contests across four Louisville sports, the school said. Louisville has not yet made most of its fall sports schedules public.

This week, U of L announced it was temporarily suspending voluntary on-campus workouts for its men’s basketball team after two members of the program tested positive for COVID-19. The delay was supposed to last at least two weeks.
