Conference USA announces cancelation of formal & organized spring football practice, effective immediately

I guess nobody should be surprised by this move. The only surprising part here is that Conference USA didn’t put practice on hold indefinitely like the B1G and SEC pretty much did.
According to Brett McMurphy’s tweet, they decided to just cancel it straight up. The officials running the show must not have any confidence the coronavirus panic will be over anytime soon.

You can just add Conference USA canceling spring ball to the never-ending list of stuff impacted by coronavirus.
It seemingly never ends. March Madness was stolen from us, the major conferences suspended spring activities and Conference USA has canceled football practice.

As I’ve already said and I’ll say again for everybody to hear: start mentally preparing for football not happening as scheduled in the fall.
I’m not saying it’s off, but there’s a very real chance it doesn’t happen thanks to coronavirus. Just start getting your mind ready for that call to happen.

Let’s hope I’m wrong. Nobody would be happier than me to be incorrect on this one.
