The Washington State Cougars will have to wait a bit longer to resume their season as a Covid outbreak on the team has forced the postponement of its game against the Washington Huskies that was scheduled for tonight, the school announced this morning.
The extent of the situation is unknown, as the school didn’t elaborate beyond stating the postponement was “due to COVID-19 protocols within the Cougs’ program,” meaning that some combination of positive tests and contact tracing have left WSU too short-handed to play a game.
The Pac-12 recently changed its stance on Covid spread within a team, allowing for postponements rather than forfeits.
