If their cancellations hadn't been announced most of us wouldn't have known that they existed in the first place.

See the link below. From the article:

”The Military and Fenway bowls were canceled Sunday as a result of COVID-19 issues with participating teams.

Boston College had over 40 players unavailable to play in the Military Bowl against East Carolina on Monday. Virginia also had players test positive for COVID-19, making it unable to travel and play SMU at the Wasabi Fenway Bowl, set for Wednesday.

In a statement, Boston College said it did not have enough players to field a team because of coronavirus issues, season-ending injuries, opt-outs and transfers.”


And,

”Virginia said in a statement that some players tested positive in the days leading up to Saturday, the team's planned departure date for the Fenway Bowl.”

Also from the article:

”Nick Carparelli, the executive director of bowl season, tweeted Sunday that college football's COVID-19 protocols that were developed last year "are outdated and need to be adjusted immediately! We are causing more problems than there need to be."

Carparelli later deleted the tweet, but told ESPN's Adam Rittenberg: "Health and safety will always be the most important concern. However, I think the frustrating part is while the virus has evolved and weakened, the protocols in college athletics have not changed. There are other sports organizations, most notably the NFL, that have evolved and are functioning just fine."”
