While the Mid-America Intercollege Athletic Association schools have tried to settle into the 2026 spring season, Mother Nature had other ideas.
The MIAA’s spring season is underway, with intra-MIAA contests being played in baseball and softball, Mother Nature stepped in on Sunday and forced multiple events to be cancelled due to winter weather returning. Central Oklahoma and Emporia State were the only MIAA spring teams to take the baseball field on Sunday, while the other scheduled games were not played.
