And that’s all we know. The MAC didn’t say why, though it’s almost certainly COVID-19 related. But we know don’t where the problem is.
The only thing online anywhere from Kent State is a retweet of the MAC announcement. OU quoted the MAC announcement on its team website.
Kent State had played at Ohio State on Wednesday, when it lost 103-47. The Flashes had practiced three times after a 10-day “pause” because of COVID issues on the team.
Ohio played last Friday, when it beat Notre Dame 86-85 in Athens. The Bobcats hadn’t reported any COVID problems to this point.
The Ohio-Buffalo football game, scheduled for Saturday in Athens, was canceled for COVID reasons on Friday while the Buffalo team was on the bus ready to leave. The coronavirus issues were on Ohio’s end.
Ohio State was picked second in the MAC and is 2-0 on the season. Kent State was picked sixth and is 0-1 so far.
