Texas Longhorns at Kansas Jayhawks football game canceled because of coronavirus issues

Texas' upcoming game at Kansas has been canceled because of COVID-19 issues within the Longhorns program.

The Longhorns (6-3) and Jayhawks (0-9) were scheduled for their regular-season finale on Saturday but Texas has shut down football activities and training facilities to contain virus spread among its team.

Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte said there are nine players and 13 staff members who tested positive this week and are isolating. There are also 14 players and 15 staffers who were identified as close contacts and are in quarantine.

The game will not be rescheduled and will be declared a "no contest," the Big 12 announced.
