I haven't been keeping count of all schools and conferences with canceled/postponed fall sports but it seems that we are at or very near the NCAA 50% threshold (152 schools) for not having championships. Help me with my list.

Conference Schools

Horizon League 12

Big Ten 14

Pac-12 12

Mid America 12

Mountain West 11

America East 10

Patriot 10

Northeastern 10

Colonial (CAA) 10

Total 101

I did this by conference even though some schools may participate (Army, Navy, James Madison) and other independents UMass, Old Dominion, UConn canceled on their own.

You only focusing on D1 FBS schools/conferences?

Ivy League

Big West 11, and Ivy League 8 make 120 programs cancelled.

Thanks for the input

Metro Atlantic 11 is also cancelled- total now 131.

Atlantic 10 - 14 men's teams

There are also more women's teams than men's. It would be interesting to see if one gender hits the 50% rule and one does not.

Expect the WAC (9 programs) and the Southland (13 programs) to cancel by the end of the week. Both conferences are mostly just waiting for an official announcement.

With A-10 the total now is 145. I'm guessing I am missing at least one other conference. If the 50% threshold for holding championships is not attainable, the question becomes one of when will NCAA tell teams the championship will not be held.

Cross country is a unique sport, unlike volleyball and soccer, that does not require a conference schedule to compile a record to attain selection to the NCAA championship. A conference canceling fall sports might simply keep a school from participating in a conference championship. However a university (institution) might still be able to allow a cross country team to participate in an NCAA championship. To get a true reading on whether we fall below the NCAA 50% criteria to hold a championship, each member institution will have to state their intention of participation or non-participation.

As a d1 athlete who runs in a cancelled conference, most conferences already have stated that if they cancel, institutions still can't compete in out of conference competition. So yes, it is over.

Even if this weren't the case, 2/5 P5 conferences have cancelled. If you are still holding out hope for the season, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you should probably accept the fact that there will be no XC this year. Probably no HS XC either. And with that neither will there be indoor track. We would be very lucky to get an outdoor track season in 2021 at this point.

I believe the Summit League has shut it down.

Big East and Big South are out!

By my math, we're at over 52% of schools sponsoring men's xc cancelled. 50.2%, assuming I have the right number of schools in each conference and didn't forget about any edge cases.

Over 50%*

this list seems better than what I started
