Fall sports update from the American Athletic Conference
Statement from Director of Athletics Laird Veatch
"I want to first say thank you to our fans, donors, sponsors and campus community for their support as we work through the challenges of returning to play in our fall sports, including football. Your unwavering support of our Memphis programs is greatly appreciated.
Following the AAC's announcement today regarding fall sports schedules, this is confirmation of our 2020 football schedule. Other sports schedules will be released soon.
Our staff has been working tirelessly with health, City and stadium officials to develop plans for socially distanced fan attendance at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, with an emphasis on safety for everyone in the facility. Information will be released Thursday that gives our season ticket holders options as it relates to their own personal circumstances. We will continue to be transparent and communicate as plans evolve.
We are very excited about the prospect of starting our season against Arkansas State at home on Saturday, September 5!"
