Utah, Fresno State Go to Court Over Canceled Game

Brock Fritz Headshot

The University of Utah has filed a lawsuit stating it doesn’t owe Fresno State money after canceling a 2020-21 college men’s basketball game due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to The Salt Lake Tribune, Utah filed the lawsuit Thursday in Third Judicial District Court in Utah. The university said that the game, which was scheduled for Dec. 19 at the Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City, was legally canceled through the “uncontrollable forces” section of the game contract. Utah athletic director Mark Harlan emailed Fresno State athletic director Terry Tumey on Nov. 5 stating his intention to cancel the game due to the COVID-19 pandemic limiting the number of nonconference games each team can play this season.
