Fenway Bowl, Military Bowl Canceled Because Of COVID-19

BOSTON, MA — The Boston College football team's season is over after the Military Bowl was canceled Sunday along with the Wasabi Fenway Bowl, according to bowl officials.

The Military Bowl was canceled because of "COVID-19 protocols within Boston College," the bowl said in its statement.

"This is not the way we wanted to see this season come to an end," Boston College Head Football Coach Jeff Hafley. "We just do not have enough players to safely play a game. My heart goes out to our seniors who will not have one final opportunity to wear a BC jersey and I can't thank them enough for all the contributions they made to our program."

Along with the Eagles, East Carolina's football season ended with the Military Bowl's announcement that canceled the game scheduled for Monday.

The Fenway Bowl was scheduled for Wednesday between Southern Methodist University and Virginia.

The Boston bowl that was to be played in historic Fenway Park had to delay its inaugural game for a second straight season because of concerns over the coronavirus in the Virginia football program. The Cavaliers no longer had enough players on its roster to play in the bowl game because of the spread of COVID-19, according to the Fenway Bowl.
