University of Houston officials announced Tuesday that all athletic activities happening over the upcoming weekend have been cancelled or postponed due the unprecedented flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey, including football’s match at UTSA on Saturday.
Volleyball, cross-country, soccer and football all had events scheduled but will now be sidelined in the wake of Harvey.
In all, seven events are canceled across the four sports, including the postponement of football’s highly-anticipated season opener against the UTSA Roadrunners in San Antonio.
“The epic disaster that continues to unfold in and around the City of Houston has made it evident that our athletic events are not a priority at this time,” Vice President for Athletics Hunter Yurachek said in a news release.
