While nothing is official at this time, it appears junior college football will be following the Ivy League’s decision and plans to move all sports to the spring.

That potentially means no junior college football this fall.

A final decision is set to be made on Monday, July 13.

The National Junior College Athletic Association runs JUCO football and issued the following statement on Thursday:

“The NJCAA Presidential Advisory Council, along with the NJCAA president and CEO and NJCAA board chair have recommended that a majority of NJCAA competition move to the spring semester of 2021. The organization is finalizing the plans that provide engagement, safety, and regional leadership to support our student-athletes during the fall and spring semesters.

“Individual NJCAA regions will discuss the recommended changes prior to the NJCAA board of regents meeting on Monday, July 13 where an official plan of action will be decided. More information will be provided following Monday’s meeting.

“We must adjust accordingly to support and sustain NJCAA programs, the association as a whole is collectively working to provide the best opportunities to be successful on and off the field for our student-athletes.”

It will be interesting to see what this means for elite junior college prospects that are committed to SEC programs. Those players are unlikely to stick around the junior college ranks if they have the grades to make the jump to the Division I level, especially if that means putting two seasons worth of wear and tear on their body in the span of a year.
