As of August 13th, a total of 229 men's teams (72% of the field) and 250 women's teams (72% of the field) have canceled fall sports.
Currently, the AAC, ACC, Atlantic Sun, Big 12, Conference USA, Missouri Valley Conference, SEC, Sun Belt and the service academies have yet to announce a postponement or cancellation of cross country.
While most of the non-power five conferences are expected to join the rest of the conferences in canceling, there is a chance notable conferences such as the ACC, Big 12 and SEC continue on with fall sports with select conference cross country championships this fall.
