Overarching Guiding Principles for Resumption:


The health and safety of our campus and conference community is paramount
Decision-making around the resumption of athletics will be informed by campus policies; local, state and national governmental guidance/policies; and NEC and NCAA guidance/policies
Each athletics department must adhere to its campus policies and protocols


NEC Fall Sports Return to Play Plan as of now:


A start date of September 10 has been set for both conference and non-conference competition; football programs are permitted to play non-conference games prior to September 10 as per institutional discretion
Associate members will defer to full member conference regulations
NEC institutions will confirm non-conference opponents have instituted similar health and safety protocols prior to competition
Overnight travel will be reduced when possible



Wagner at CCSU scheduled for Sep. 5 (Week 1) will have to be rescheduled for later in the season.
