Sun Belt Conference Championship Game Canceled
The #17 Louisiana s Ragin Cajun football team boarded a chartered flight today for Conway, South Carolina, preparing to compete for a Sun Belt Conference Championship against #9 Coastal Carolina on Saturday.
A few hours after arriving at 5:00 eastern time, they learned they would not be playing the contest, as the Sun Belt announced the game was canceled.
One member on the Coastal Carolina program tested positive for COVID-19, and due to contact tracing, an entire positional group is unavailable to play, thus leading to the cancelation.
“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 said in a statement. We will honor both teams as 2020 Sun Belt Conference Co-Champions.
