<div style="color:black; font:10pt Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,Serif">Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, it becomes necessary to cancel the Sport Literature Association conference for 2020. Presenters will be notified individually. Because we
realize the importance of conference presentations, particularly for young scholars, we are investigating the possibility of a mini-conference in a virtual environment. More information will be forthcoming shortly.

<div>For me, it is the camaraderie of this group, which often makes it the high point of my summer. I will miss you and hope that each of you is taking care. Joyce<br>
