For the first time since 1945, the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference will not have a football season in 2020.
Powerhouse Wisconsin-Whitewater and rest of WIAC won't play football in 2020
July 28, 2020 at 12:15PM
The eight-team WIAC on Monday canceled football for the 2020-21 academic year, as well as four other falls sports: women's soccer, women's volleyball and men's and women's cross country.
The decisions come amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Two other fall sports — women's tennis and women's golf — will be moved to the spring.
WIAC schools have won 118 NCAA Division III team championships, and Wisconsin-Whitewater is a perennial power in football.
