The University of Connecticut football team has canceled its 2020 season, the school announced Wednesday. Players will still remain on scholarship and continue to receive the support services set aside for athletes. „After receiving guidance from state and public health officials and consulting with football student-athletes, we’ve decided that we will not compete on the gridiron this season,“ director of athletics David Benedict said. „The safety challenges created by COVID-19 place our football student-athletes at an unacceptable level of risk.“ Spring football is not an option for the school either; the announcement states the team will „cancel all competition for the 2020-21 school year.
