FIU’s Conference USA matchup against rival Charlotte has been postponed due to an “increase in COVID-19 positive results within the FIU football program” late Thursday evening.
In a media release, FIU Assistant Athletic Director Tyson Rodgers wrote, “Out of abundance of caution, all team activities have been paused.”
Following last week’s loss to Middle Tennessee State, head coach Butch Davis revealed that the team dealt with 17 false-positive COVID tests, causing multiple players to miss playing time throughout the week while being re-tested for COVID.
