Sports are once again showing that they are not insulated from the larger world around them, as the latest wave of Covid infections continues to disrupt leagues all over the planet.
That includes the Sun Bowl, in which the Washington State Cougars are scheduled to play on December 31 in El Paso, Texas, against the Miami Hurricanes.
Just one problem: Miami has a Covid outbreak in its program. In an attempt to cobble together a roster that can play in the game, the Hurricanes now will forego all the traditional bowl extracurriculars in the week leading up to the contest and instead arrive in Texas the day before the game.
