Huge kudos to Blake, obviously the Mediacom announcement is big but securing Silver level on the World Tour is HUGE going forward for the competition levels and the name value of the athletes competing. Potentially game changing for the Relays and, in turn, the university.

Big question is if there even is a Relays this year.

NCAA cancelling all spring championships. Schools closing everywhere. Travel from Europe currently banned. Might not be a Drake Relays this year.
Have they ever been cancelled?

Nope...i believe it would be a first. March 30 through the first week of April will be magical dates/weeks. If college sports are not back up by then - they will not be this year.

It’s too early to expect an announcement, but I would be surprised if they happened.

CDC just announced no groups of more than 50 people for the next 8 weeks. That’s probably the final nail

+xBeing Olympic year (if that happens) I don’t know what they would be able to schedule in the summer Now that the Olympics are off, I think the best case scenario is to hold in August right when school is starting again. We are probably only looking at pros only if it happens at all.

The Beautiful Bulldog Contest is still being held... Drake's Beautiful Bulldog Contest is back and will allow public to vote online The Beautiful Bulldog Contest Vitrual Relays Week... Special Interactive Digital Schedule
According to update from Drake they are still looking for date to re-schedule... Blake Boldon Update Drake Relays Postponed Until SummerAll meets up to the Prefontaine Classic (first weekend of June) have been canceled or postponed in USA. Europe has been canceled through the Bislett Games in Oslo (second week of June). The USA Olympic Trials were to be held June 19 to 28, so maybe they could hold it that week.

At this point I'm assuming they are going to let Griff's retirement happen today, get through the July 4 weekend, then sometime next week the official announcement will come Relays 2020 is formally cancelled.

Just announced the next announcement will come on July 23. Anything beyond it's cancelled will be a complete shock to me.
