The bubble has burst.
BYU football, which had been trying to keep its players in as much of a bubble environment as possible, wasn’t able to prevent players from testing positive for COVID-19, resulting in the upcoming Army game being postponed, BYU announced on Saturday.
“We appreciate the university administration, state health officials and a variety of medical experts who have helped us navigate these unprecedented times,” BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe said. “While we share the disappointment of everyone involved in the game between BYU and Army, safety as well as the physical and mental well-being of our student-athletes, coaches, staff and the opposing team is our top priority.”
BYU and Army will work together to try to reschedule the game at a later time. The Cougars will conduct small-group workouts next week until players and staff are cleared to resume full-team practices.
