Bethune-Cookman Pulls Plug on Sports Seasons

Bethune-Cookman has pulled the plug on the 2020-21 sports season as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic school officials have announced. This will include their softball program that will not compete in the 2021 season after going 5-28 in a pandemic shortened 2020 season. BCU is a Division I member of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Officials indicated this was about “risk” to student-athletes, however the softball/spring sports season is more than three months away. This indicates this would be more likely about financial shortfalls than overall safety concerns.
