Sports On Hold

Tuesday brought a tragedy
of unfathomable proportions to the United States. Terrorist
attacks on high profile governmental and economic symbols of the nation
resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent citizens in addition to
injuring an untold number and causing immense sorrow .
In the first of many East
Carolina University athletic contests which may be affected by events
which highlight the reality that sports is but a footnote in the collage
of U.S. society, yesterday's scheduled soccer match between Duke and ECU
was postponed indefinitely.
ECU representatives will
participate in teleconferences today involving Conference USA and NCAA
officials to decide upon guidelines and a time-frame for resuming
scheduled athletic events.
Moral, logistical and
security concerns are expected to be considered by the officials.
An announcement is expected later today regarding the timing of any
resumption of scheduled contests, including the football game between
ECU and Syracuse that was to have been played this coming Saturday in
the Carrier Dome. 09/11/01
