Saturday’s game between Minnesota and No. 18 Wisconsin has been canceled after several players and staffers with the Gophers’ football program tested positive for the coronavirus. Minnesota is pausing all football-related activities for an indefinite period, although the school said it has a goal of being able to play No. 11 Northwestern on Dec. 5.
The cancellation probably leaves the Badgers, who suffered a damaging loss last week to Northwestern, with almost no shot at reaching the Big Ten championship game. The development also adds to a growing list of college football games scheduled for Thanksgiving week that have been postponed or canceled because of the pandemic.
