Hawaii football will not participate in EasyPost Hawaii Bowl

With a single tweet, Hawaii football dropped a bombshell on the eve of the 2021 EasyPost Hawaii Bowl: the Rainbow Warriors will not play, canceling on the Memphis Tigers.

HONOLULU – Due to COVID issues within the program and along with season-ending injuries and transfers, the University of Hawai’i will not be able to participate in the EasyPost Hawai’i Bowl against Memphis.

“We are disappointed our season has to end this way,” head coach Todd Graham said. “As competitive as we are and as much as we want to play the game, we cannot put the health and safety of our student-athletes at risk.
