Louisville-Virginia Game Postponed After Spike in COVID-19 Cases Within Cardinals' Program

Saturday's game between Louisville and Virginia has been postponed after a rise in positive COVID-19 tests throughout the Louisville team and staff, the schools announced Wednesday. ESPN's Andrea Adelson had originally reported the news.

"We are taking a precautionary measure to pause due the number of student-athletes and staff that have been impacted by the virus," Louisville vice president and director of athletics Vince Tyra said in a statement. "With Virginia and us both having a bye week on November 14, we are fortunate to reschedule the game for that date. It also avails us a chance to gauge any further spread of the virus.
