- Rainbow Warriors withdraw from bowl game due to outbreak
- Spokesperson says 30 players and staff recently tested positive
- Covid cases have been surging in Honolulu for past two weeks
The Hawaii Bowl was canceled Thursday on the eve of the game after Hawaii withdrew because of Covid-19, season-ending injuries and transfers.
“We are disappointed our season has to end this way,” Hawaii coach Todd Graham said in a statement. “As competitive as we are and as much as we want to play the game, we cannot put the health and safety of our student-athletes at risk.”
