UConn is the first FBS school to cancel football

The UConn Huskies have become the first FBS program to cancel football. The Huskies are an independent since the Big East does not have concussion ball in the conference. Head Coach Randy Edsall said, per ESPN, “I hear people saying that because we’re independent we are able to do this. Let me just say one thing. If I was a head coach in a conference, at a Power Five conference or a Group of Five conference, I would be saying the same thing. I’d be doing the same thing. Because these young men’s lives are more important than money.
