Well, there it is, folks. We heard whispers about this happening Tuesday, and it’s now a done deal. The Badgers aren’t traveling to Lincoln.
Not only is Wisconsin not playing Nebraska, but all football activities have been halted.

I hoped like hell it wouldn’t come to this. Last night, I tweeted that we had to find a way to fix this situation.
Clearly, that’s not going to happen and the game is off. To say this is incredibly disappointing is definitely an understatement.
The Wisconsin/Nebraska game is likely going to be canceled because of coronavirus.
It’s time for a gut check, America. We can hide in our basements forever, or we can accept the risks.
I vote for the latter because being an American means something. https://t.co/ZFY67Z0Jvv

Let’s hope Wisconsin gets better soon. If not, we’re in big trouble of losing our season.
