Navy has set the standard in college football for following coronavirus protocols and operating safely in an uncertain environment. The Midshipmen made it through seven games this season without any players testing positive for COVID-19.
The Capital has learned Saturday’s home game against Tulsa has been postponed by the American Athletic Conference due to an outbreak among Navy football players. According to multiple sources, the Midshipmen have minimal positive COVID-19 cases, but the subsequent contact tracing would have caused a significant number of players to miss Saturday’s contest.
The American Athletic Conference is hoping to reschedule the Tulsa at Navy game for sometime later this season.
