ATLANTA – The Southern Athletic Association (SAA) announced today its current fan policy that will be implemented as athletic competitions begin the weekend of January 15-17.

Fans will be limited to only students, faculty and staff that are members of an SAA institution's COVID-19 on-campus community. These individuals of the campus community must be subject to all of Millsaps College's COVID-19 protocols including, but not limited to regular testing.

At this current time no outside fans, parents or spectators will be allowed at any SAA competition.

Each institution may determine the number of individuals allowed to attend a competition based on that school's COVID-19 policies and procedures and local health guidelines for gathering restrictions.

Throughout the semester, the SAA COVID-19 Task Force committee will continue to monitor all fan procedures and policies based on national and local health recommendations, social distancing, masking, contact tracing and coronavirus testing. 

UPDATED CLARIFYING INFORMATION (ADDED JAN. 12)

• The policy as provided applies only to winter sports (basketball and swimming and diving).
• The policy will be continually evaluated throughout the semester, and any updates will be communicated to you as soon as possible.
