The Music City Bowl between Missouri and Iowa was canceled Sunday because COVID-19 issues left the Tigers unable to play.
The Nashville, Tenn.-based game, scheduled for Wednesday, is the second bowl game called off since the postseason lineup was set Dec. 20, joining the Gasparilla Bowl.
Missouri athletic director Jim Sterk said in a statement the football team had a “significant increase in positive COVID-19 tests among our student-athletes, coaches and staff” since the end of the regular season.
Missouri is the third Southeastern Conference team that has had to pull out of its bowl game, joining Tennessee and South Carolina.
