The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team announced today the postponement of the scheduled spring season opener against VMI on Feb. 20. UTC's first spring game is now set for Feb. 27 at Finley Stadium against Wofford.
"Like many programs across the country, we were forced to change our practice schedule for football earlier in the semester due to COIVD-19 issues within our football program," stated UTC Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics
Mark Wharton. "This delay slowed our preparation for the season and it is clear that we are not prepared to play on Feb. 20. After consulting with our coaches and athletic training staff, we feel this decision is in the best interest of our student-athletes."
