(MORGANTOWN, W.Va.) West Virginia University has paused football activities – because of a rise in positive COVID-19 cases and contact tracing – for the next seven days, reports the Associated Press via The Dallas Morning News.
This means that the team will not square off against Oklahoma on Saturday. The game won’t be rescheduled, West Virginia Athletic Director Shane Lyons said.
“We are beyond disappointed not to play our final home game of the season and honor our seniors, but we need to act now and reevaluate our situation after Dec. 17,” Lyons said.
The Oklahoma Sooners will play the Iowa State Cardinals on Dec. 19 in Arlington, Texas.
