» ARCHDEACON: The night the military eclipsed basketball at Sinclair
“We are faced with extraordinary circumstances as the nature of this pandemic is rapidly changing,” said Sinclair President Dr. Steve Johnson in a press release. “Every decision that we have made has been aligned with the guidance and recommendations from the Governor and public health officials. The safety of our students and staff is of utmost importance and we have determined that it is in the best interest of our campus community that we follow the recommendations of public health authorities and cancel our athletics activities for the rest of the year. After much consideration, we see very little possibility within the next year for our athletics teams to practice, play and travel together without violating social distancing measures.
“Given these circumstances, Sinclair will continue to work with our student athletes to ensure a smooth completion to this term and that each student will be able to meet their educational goals as planned. Sinclair faculty and staff stand ready to help students adjust to these new measures for as long as necessary.”
