The sports world is seeing dramatic change to its short-term schedule because America is trying to stop the rapid spread of the coronavirus.
Whitney Roth is a former Chadron State assistant volleyball coach and also took over as interim head coach mid-season in 2015. She gave us a unique insider's account of the situation involving the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and the coronavirus' impact on her program.
Roth is the Director of Volleyball Operations at the University of Arkansas and tells us, "We already cancelled a scrimmage tomorrow (Friday) but have two in April that are still pending. All off/on campus recruiting is shut down as well. Our coaches are supposed to be out recruiting the next few weekends and they can no longer go out."
She added, "Most of the club tournaments are cancelled but we had some individual club visits that we were going to but can no longer do."
