Hawaii Bowl Canceled On Eve Of Game After Hawaii Pulls Out

Hawaii athletic department spokesperson Derek Inouchi said about 30 players and staff recently tested positive for COVID-19.

The Hawaii Bowl was canceled Thursday after Hawaii withdrew from its game against Memphis on the eve of the contest because of COVID-19, season-ending injuries and transfers.

“We are disappointed our season has to end this way,” Hawaii coach Todd Graham said in a statement. “As competitive as we are and as much as we want to play the game, we cannot put the health and safety of our student-athletes at risk.”

The game was scheduled for Friday at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex.
