The SEC cuts all Spring Games

Doing their bit against COVID-19, the SEC has cancelled all of the Spring Games.

The conference suspended all athletic activity until April 15th, although it would not be surprising if that is longer.

This will leave a lot of coaches and players in the ‘corridor of uncertainty’. Players will want to know if they should stay around or transfer. Coaches will want to find out who their No.1 QB is in a live game.

And of course, this also impacts recruiting, as high schools have either shut down completely, or schools have abandoned recruiting trips.

Of course, you can expect a proliferation of online recruiting via Zoom and players’ meetings, as well as group ‘home’ weights sessions (most schools will close their doors and get students to do assignments online), and we’ll see how that holds up.

Here are the list of games:

Friday, April 3: Vanderbilt

Saturday, April 4: South Carolina

Saturday, April 11: Kentucky, Mississippi State, Auburn, Missouri

Saturday, April 18: LSU, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Ole Miss

Saturday, April 25: Arkansas

The ACC has also canceled its Spring Games and the Big Ten has suspended them – although Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State have all cancelled their Spring Games. The Big 12 and Pac-12 have suspended all athletic activities until the end of March, but you can expect that to be longer.
