Fordham’s football game against Hawaii on Sept. 12 has been canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Rams have now canceled their first three games. A school spokesperson said Fordham will announce later this week whether the entire fall season will be canceled or potentially moved to the spring.
Fordham is a football-only member of the Patriot League, whose Council of Presidents announced last month a guidance plan for fall competition. One of the key provisions of that plan was that “No Patriot League teams will fly to competitions and, with rare exceptions, regular-season competition will exclude overnight travel.”
The Rams were supposed to open the season against Stony Brook on Aug. 29 and then host Bryant on Sept. 5 before heading to Hawaii.
