No SEC school has publicly committed to clear athletes’ practice calendar on Election Day, and the conference has not said whether it will recommend or mandate that its member schools mark Nov. 3 as an off day.
"Registering and exercising the right to vote has always been a priority of Grambling State University,” Grambling State athletics director David “Rusty” Ponton said. “The 2020 year elections may be the most critical in our country's recent history. I applaud the NCAA's decision. If we want to see change, we must vote."
Outside of football, sports such as basketball, soccer, volleyball, cross country, swimming and diving are ongoing in November, and a typical Tuesday during the season can feature a practice or game or be a travel day for road competition. Full competition schedules for most teams other than football have not been released.
“We wholeheartedly support providing an athletic-department environment that ensures all student-athletes, coaches and staff have the full breadth of national election day to exercise their right to vote,” Memphis athletics director Laird Veatch said in a statement. “With that goal in mind, we will create a program that will educate our student-athletes on voting options, ensure that time is made available for in-person voting and facilitate absentee voting whenever necessary.
Two FBS games are scheduled for Nov. 4 and two on Nov. 5. The latter date includes Arkansas State’s game at Louisiana.
