SEC postpones start of soccer, volleyball and cross-country

The SEC is postponing the start of volleyball, soccer and cross-country competition through at least the end of August because of COVID-19.

The league says that provides more time to prepare for a safe return to competition on an adjusted timeline. The decision includes all exhibition and nonconference games.

Each school will be responsible for any rescheduling of nonconference contests.

The league hasn’t made any decisions on football. The Big Ten and Pac-12 have opted to only play conference games.
