North Texas has decided to postpone Saturday's nationally televised football game at UTEP because of the spike in COVID-19 cases in El Paso.
This is the second consecutive postponement of a UTEP home game, as the Southern Miss game two weeks ago was postponed. UTEP had announced earlier Tuesday that no fans would be in attendance.
“We are disappointed that North Texas has chosen not to come to El Paso for the football game this weekend,” UTEP president Heather Wilson said. “We have a safe place to play and no players who are sick or in isolation, and North Texas has not indicated that any of their players are ill.
