After careful thought, consideration, and dialogue, SUNY Community Colleges (27 of 30) that are members of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA), have collectively decided to cancel intercollegiate competition for the 2020-21 indoor sports that are considered "high risk" for COVID-19 exposure and spread of infection. For Tompkins Cortland Community College, that means the cancellation of the basketball and volleyball seasons for this academic year. Campuses will have the option to hold on-campus workouts and training with student-athletes, which Tompkins Cortland plans to allow in a structured and monitored environment. The College still plans to have baseball, golf, lacrosse, soccer, and softball seasons during the Spring 2021 semester.

Both the NCAA and NAIA, the governing bodies of intecollegiate athletics at the four-year level, have agreed to recognize the NJCAA ruling and not charse a year of eligibility for 2020-21 to any student-athlete that transfers on to a four-year institution.
