The Sun Belt Conference Championship Game has been canceled due to Covid-19 issues with the Coastal Carolina football program. An entire position group has been quarantined due to possible exposure.
“We are severely disappointed for our student-athletes and staff to not have the opportunity to play in what would have been a truly exciting championship game for the Sun Belt Conference,” said Director of Athletics Bryan Maggard. “For our football program, fans and alumni, we look forward to learning of our bowl destination this weekend.”
The Ragin Cajun Football team had flown to Myrtle Beach on Thursday when they learned the news that evening.
“We are very disappointed that the championship game cannot be played, but we are so proud of all of the players and staff members and their hard work during this truly challenging season,” said Sun Belt Commissioner Keith Gill. “We will honor both teams as 2020 Sun Belt Conference Co-Champions.”
