Update on Impact of COVID-19 Virus on Rocket Athletics

3/13/2020 3:21:00 PM

TOLEDO, Ohio – After consultation with officials from the Mid-American Conference, public health and medical professionals, and university administration, and in compliance with the NCAA and MAC's decision to cancel its winter and spring championships for the 2020 season, The University of Toledo Department of Athletics has suspended all athletic activity. All voluntary workouts and organized practice activities, including spring football, and all in-person recruiting activities – both on and off campus - for all sports are suspended until the University resumes normally scheduled operations. The only permissible recruiting will be written and electronic communication (letters, emails, text messages, phone calls).
 
The decision to cancel spring sports competition affects seven Rocket programs (baseball, men's golf, women's golf, softball, men's tennis, women's tennis and women's outdoor track and field,) as well as the women's soccer and women's volleyball teams which hold off-season competitions. 
 
All activities that had been scheduled on our campus athletic facilities through March 31 have been canceled. The possible cancellation of activities scheduled for dates after March 31 – including summer camps and other larger gatherings -- will be determined later.
 
For the remainder of the spring semester, the University will be suspending all face-to-face classes and transitioning to remote instruction. As a result, most of our student-athletes will not be on campus for the remainder of the semester.

Statement from UToledo Vice President and Athletic Director Michael O'Brien
"The health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches and staff has always been and will continue to be the main priority of The University of Toledo Department of Athletics. During these challenging times, we will continue to follow the directions and guidelines that we receive from the federal, state, University and conference levels. We will also try our very best to keep our supporters updated on any and all information regarding our athletic programs."
