Madison, SD (NSAA<\/a>)\u2013 The NAIA announced the changes to the 2020 fall sports season on June 4, due to ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.\u00a0 The changes include a return to play ‘threshold’, a short delay to starting the season and a reduction tin the number of contests allowed.<\/p>\n

“The NAIA’s announcement on the reduction of regular-season contests from 11 to 9 signaled a need for us to examine our schedule options for each North Star football program,” said North Star Athletic Association conference commissioner Cory Anderson.\u00a0<\/strong> “The uncertainly of some non-conference opponents’ commitment to returning to face-to-face instruction or their own limitations, necessitated a need for us to create a stable 9-game North Star schedule.”\u00a0 (The Paint Bucket game between UJ and VCSU may be rescheduled at the end of the regular season.)<\/p>\n

All sports can begin their team practices on Aug. 15.<\/p>\n

The originally scheduled 7-game North Star schedule will stay intact while adding 2 additional games within the conference membership, beginning on the first allowable date to play on September 12.<\/p>\n

“While not the best scenario for our teams, our coaches are comfortable and confident with knowing they have a solid 9-game schedule and are making the best of a tenuous off-season,” added Anderson.<\/p>\n

Currently, the NAIA intends to host all fall national championship events as currently scheduled.<\/p>\n

Below is the 9-game North Star football conference schedule for the 2020 season (all nine games will be counted as NSAA contest):<\/p>\n
