The NCAA released the Resocialization of Collegiate Basketball guidelines on September 25 which outlines increased testing requirements. Additionally, we anticipate further NCAA guidance on all other winter sports in the near future. The Empire 8 will evaluate the impact these guidelines, in addition to federal, state, and county health policy, have on our ability to safely conduct winter sports competition. Further updates will be provided when available.
