Virginia traveled to Tallahassee in anticipation of playing the game and will leave to go back to Charlottesville at some point Saturday. Virginia had delayed its trip to Tallahassee to get all its test results back from Friday testing to try to avoid a situation like last weekend's Clemson-Florida State game. But given the roster situation at Florida State, it became clear the game could not be played.
Last Saturday, the Clemson-Florida State game also was postponed after the chief medical officers from both schools could not agree about whether it was safe to play the game -- unleashing a torrent of criticism from Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, who said Florida State should have to forfeit the game. In that case, Clemson traveled to Tallahassee with a player who ultimately tested positive for the coronavirus.

This latest FSU chicken-out comes after they cost Clemson a similarly massive loss in finances.
My dad is PO’d. He was all set to watch the game.
This CFB season is garbage, basically a long exhibition season. Not even wasting time with it, even though my Gators are doing pretty good this year.
We don’t watch any more sports. You either boycott or not. They won’t change until you bankrupt them.
Puk-puk-puk-puk-PUKAW!
Forfeit State University.
One of the big teams is on the verge of not having played enough games to compete in the Big One.
Maybe Ohio.
I actually feel sorry for Bobby Bowden, seeing what’s happened to the program he built. I have nothing but the highest amount of respect for Bobby.
Bravo
I went to college in Hogtown many years ago, so when I see “FSU” I have to translate from “FSCW.”
FSU...FSU...Where the girls are girls...and the guys are too!
I have washed my hands of ALL college and pro sports. I do not care one iota about this or any other game being neither postponed nor cancelled!
Why am I bothering to post here, you ask?
To try to get all FReepers to do the same - stay away from sports completely.
Historically good season for ISU. Who have been perpetually bad. Last won a conference title in 1912. Or somewhere thereabouts.
Matt Campbell will restore your opinion of what college sports can be.

Lot of rumors that Michigan wants Campbell.
Yeah, that’s not happening.
Wow. I live in NC and first I have heard of those slogans on jerseys here. But then I quit watching also so I guess let them shoot their selves in the foot. IDC.
Good time to watch a reply of USF Dons beating the Cavs on the hardwood. : )
Dons always seem to give the Zags a tough game. We've been snakebit several times at USF over the past fifteen years.
WCC looks to have 4-5 solid teams in addition to Gonzaga this year: USF, BYU, St. Mary's, Pepperdine, Pacific...off the top of my head.
After watching the Zags' first two games, I just don't see how they don't go undefeated in WCC. Main reason is there won't be any "road games", it'll be like every game is on a neutral court. Last year, the BYU home crowd willed their team to victory...18,000 crazy fans. They won't have that home court advantage this year.
