FORT WORTH (WBAP/KLIF) – The TCU football team will not participate in its scheduled bowl game this week, according the University’s athletic department.
“Over the last 24 hours, between a combination of COVID-19 related issues, injuries, and other circumstances, we have fallen below the established BIG 12 Conference threshold for student-athlete availability that we have abided by all season, said TCU Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, Jeremiah Donati. “As such we very regrettably will not be able to participate in Thursday’s night’s Mercari Texas Bowl against Arkansas.”
Donati said that health and safety considerations for student-athletes are always a top priority.
The game was scheduled to be played at NRG Stadium in Houston.
Incredibly disappointed to share the news below on the upcoming @TexasBowl matchup. Even more heartbroken for our student-athletes, coaches and staff. #gofrogs pic.twitter.com/etGu7oN2SQ
