The Syracuse and Buffalo men's basketball programs are on pause after a member of the Bulls tested positive for COVID-19.

The decision by both teams comes after they played Saturday in the Carrier Dome in Syracuse.

The Mid-American Conference school did not reveal who tested positive, except to say it involved either an athlete, or member of the team’s coaching or support staff. The school was notified of the positive test on Sunday.

It’s unclear how long the Buffalo pause will last, with the school saying it will follow NCAA, conference and local health protocols. Contact tracing is underway at Syracuse.

Syracuse postponed it game Tuesday against Notre Dame. Buffalo is scheduled to play non-conference games at St. Bonaventure on Tuesday, followed by a trip to West Virginia on Dec. 29.

The Bulls are already without head coach Jim Whitesell, who entered a 14-day self-quarantine period on Dec. 14 after coming into close contact with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19.

The Military Bowl has been canceled after a host of teams opted not to play in bowl games this season.

The announcement was made Monday. The bowl game has been held annually in the Washington-Maryland area since debuting in 2008.

Organizers of the bowl last week announced plans to stage the game on Dec. 28 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland, without fans.

The bowl matches teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference and the American Athletic Conference.

“This is an incredibly disappointing step to take,” Military Bowl President & Executive Director Steve Beck said.

The Military Bowl joins an expansive list of bowl games that have been canceled in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

The English League Cup final has been moved from February to April in hope fans will be able to attend at Wembley Stadium.

The English Football League on Monday said the final was pushed back from Feb. 28 to April 25.

A new, tougher fourth tier of coronavirus restrictions for London and south-east England came into force on Sunday. Spectators are banned from sporting events in tier three and four.

"The number of fans permitted will be dependent on government guidance in place at the time and it is hoped that moving the date to later in the year will give clubs and their fans the best opportunity to attend in person,” the EFL said in a statement.

The quarterfinals are on Tuesday and Wednesday.
