Georgia Tech and Pitt announced on Thursday that this Saturday’s football matchup between the two programs is postponed — due to COVID-19 protocols at Pittsburgh.
According to Pitt athletic director Heather Lyke, “Our football program will pause all activities. Our protocols have prepared us to anticipate and manage these circumstances. Our top priority will always be the health and well-being of our student-athletes, coaches and staff.”
The game, which was set for Atlanta, is the ninth game scheduled for this week that’s been canceled or postponed. All of this is backdropped by the coronavirus pandemic, which continues to surge at dangerous rates all across the United States.
