The Northwest Conference athletic directors met Wednesday and came up with a unique new season schedule and tournament in response to the pandemic.
The previous schedule with non-league games to start out with has been totally scrapped. For 2020, the NWC has been split into two divisons, East and West, with a short three-game pool play schedule preceding a league tournament that will guarantee each school three more games.
