Transylvania Athletics on Sunday will celebrate the shortened 2019-20 season with the university’s first-ever all-digital RAFY awards.
In lieu of the traditional in-person ceremony, which isn’t possible this year because of social distancing, the Transy Sports Network will livestream the presentation at 7 p.m.
