Out of an abundance of caution, the Boise State football team is pausing all football-related activities due to an upward trend in COVID-19 cases and absences due to contact tracing.

Director of Athletics Jeramiah Dickey made the announcement last night (Tuesday), saying the health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches and staff is our primary concern. He went on to say, they felt it was in the best interest of the program to pause all activities.

Boise State says they are exceeding the offseason guidelines outlined by the NCAA for testing both students and staff.

There is no word yet on when practice might resume, or if this will effect the Spring game set for April 10th.
