Pac-12 statement on Washington at Cal football game

The Pac-12 today, Nov. 5, issued the following statement regarding the Washington at Cal football game, previously scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 7: 

“The Pac-12 has approved a request from Cal to cancel the Washington at Cal football game scheduled for November 7.  This decision was made under the Pac-12’s football game cancellation policy due to Cal not having the minimum number of scholarship players available for the game as a result of a positive football student-athlete COVID-19 case and resulting isolation of additional football student-athletes under contact tracing protocols.  Under Conference policy, the game will be declared a no contest.  The health and safety of our student-athletes and all those connected to Pac-12 football programs will continue to be our number one priority.”
