Charlotte vs. North Carolina becomes 5th game wiped from Week 3 schedule due to COVID-19 issues

Another Week 3 college football game has been wiped off the slate.

Charlotte announced Thursday that its game against North Carolina, scheduled for Saturday afternoon in Chapel Hill, has been canceled due to the impact of COVID-19 on its offensive line group. More specifically, the university said that its contact tracing protocols have placed “several members of the offensive line” into quarantine, “effectively depleting that unit.”

Three Charlotte football players have tested positive for COVID-19 over the past two weeks, the school said, but those who came into contact with the infected individuals are required “by university contact tracers” to quarantine for 14 days.
