Tuesday the Southeastern conference announced that all regular-season conference and non-conference competitions are canceled for the remainder of the 2019-20 athletic year. This also includes all spring football practices and spring games.
Florid Athletic Director Scott Stricklin had already publically stated that playing the game on April 18 as scheduled would be impossible given the current status of the coronavirus pandemic, but the news from the SEC office today makes it official.
It’s unclear how long the pandemic will affect the country but the SEC and all of the schools are doing the right thing and making decisions in the best interest of the health and safety of the student-athletes.
