The football game between California and Washington scheduled for Saturday was canceled Thursday because the Golden Bears don’t have enough players available after a team member tested positive for the coronavirus. “The Pac-12 has approved a request from Cal to cancel the Washington at Cal football game scheduled for November 7,” the conference said in a statement. “This decision was made under the Pac-12’s football game cancellation policy due to Cal not having the minimum number of scholarship players available for the game as a result of a positive football student-athlete COVID-19 case and resulting isolation of additional football student-athletes under contact tracing protocols. AdvertisementCal coach Justin Wilcox said Wednesday that contact tracing was underway for a “significant” number of players. “It is very disappointing that we will not be opening our 2020 season this Saturday night against Washington,” Wilcox said.
