MIAA announces suspension of fall sports due to the coronavirus

The Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association – the MIAA – has announced that all fall sport competitions will be suspended until January 1, 2021.

MIAA schools include Missouri Southern State University and Pittsburg State University.

The action is being taken due to the coronavirus.

The group will continue to explore the possibility of a limited number of competitions in the spring, as permitted by the NCAA.

MIAA CEO Council chair Steve Scott of Pittsburg State University said the health and well-being of MIAA student-athletes, coaches, administrators and communities continues to be the Association’s top priority.
