The Sun Belt Conference has announced that the conference championship game has been canceled due to a positive COVID-19 test within the Coastal Carolina program.
Because of contact tracing, an entire position group would not be available to play due to possible exposure and therefore the game cannot be played.
“We are severely disappointed for our student-athletes and staff to not have the opportunity to play in what would have been a truly exciting championship game for the Sun Belt Conference,” Director of Athletics Bryan Maggard said in a statement released by the university. “For our football program, fans and alumni, we look forward to learning of our bowl destination this weekend.”
