BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - In response to the continued impact of COVID-19, the Gulf South Conference has suspended all athletic competition, countable athletic related activities, and off-campus recruiting for an indefinite period.
 
This decision was made after thorough collaboration between the conference office, university presidents and chancellors, and the league's athletic directors.
 
Valdosta State Director of Athletics, Herb Reinhard, said "I feel terrible for our student-athletes but I fully support the decision of the Gulf South Conference. I hold out hope that we might be able to resume play at some point this spring but that will obviously be determined by where we are in regards to the COVID-19 situation."
