PRINCETON, N.J.—With further developments in the outbreak of COVID-19, the Ivy League Presidents have announced their unanimous decision to cancel all spring athletics practice and competition through the remainder of the academic year. Individual institutions will decide whether or not winter teams and student-athletes who have qualified for postseason play will participate.
 
"Please know that the Ivy League Presidents did not make this decision lightly. It was made in the best interest of public health, with the guidance of leading medical professionals. Although we are supportive of the Ivy League's decision, we are heartbroken for our student-athletes who will not be able to compete in the spring," said Peter Pilling, Campbell Family Director of Intercollegiate Athletics.
 
In accordance with the guidance of public health and medical professionals, several Ivy League institutions have announced that students will not return to campus after spring break, and· classes will be held virtually during the semester. Given this situation, it is not feasible for practice and competition to continue.
