Cincinnati football has canceled the spring game scheduled for April 10 as a precautionary measure due to new coronavirus, UC announced Tuesday.

Additionally, UC will limit outdoor events to crowds of 150 spectators or less until May 1, 2020. The basketball team plans to travel to Fort Worth, Texas this weekend for the American Athletic Conference Tournament.

“We are always going to put the health, safety and well-being of our student-athletes at the forefront of any decisions and will abide by Governor DeWine’s recommendations regarding indoor athletics events on campus,” said UC director of athletics John Cunningham.
