The University of Wisconsin football team will not play Saturday at Nebraska.
The Badgers, ranked No. 9 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll, are dealing with multiple cases of COVID-19 and cannot play. The game will be considered a no contest and will not count for either team’s record.
UW is pausing football activities for at least seven days as well, indicating the team has surpassed the thresholds set by the Big Ten Conference to practice or play game. UW said in a statement that 12 people within the program have tested positive for COVID-19 in the past five days.
