HAMPTON, Va. -- Hampton University Director of Athletics Eugene Marshall, Jr. announced today that the Pirates will suspend the spring 2021 competition season in the following sports: Football, Men’s and Women’s Cross Country, Men’s and Women’s Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field, Co-Ed Sailing, Softball, Volleyball, Women’s Soccer, Men’s and Women’s Tennis, Women’s Triathlon and Men’s Lacrosse. 

Men’s and Women’s Basketball will play a modified schedule, which will be released at a later date with games being streamed on ESPN+. These two sports will compete due to the fact that both programs are self-contained and compete outside of the campus footprint. No fans will be present at any home contests.
