There have been all sorts of reasons given for college football games to be postponed, canceled. However, Saturday’s East Carolina-Temple game adds another page — bizarrely — to the COVID-19 book on the 2020 season.
How about a game being delayed because a girlfriend of a player testing positive and said player having to be taken for a coronavirus test and until the result is determined, the game is on hold.
East Carolina at Temple game is delayed because a Temple player had a girlfriend who apparently just tested positive so the player was taken back to campus to receive an antigen test, source told @Stadium. If he tests positive, there’s chance game would not be played, source said

And the update … game on despite the Temple player testing positive.
Temple player, whose girlfriend had positive COVID test & delayed kickoff, tested positive, so unknown number of Temple players will be out because of contact tracing, source told @Stadium. However, game still will be played with a 12:50 p.m. ET kickoff

The decision to play the game has to be listed as questionable.
