PSAC Statement on California Football Forfeiture
In recognition of the recent charges filed against players from the California University football team, University Interim President Geraldine M. Jones has elected to cancel its football game with Gannon University, Saturday, November 1. The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference will uphold California's decision to forfeit the contest PSAC Commissioner Steve Murray announced today.
"Clearly this is a very serious situation that extends far beyond the results of a football game," said Murray. "We accept California's decision to not play this weekend. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victim and his family."
The forfeiture will negate a match up of two of the league's top Western Division teams. California, at 6-1 in PSAC play, will fall to 6-2, while Gannon, at 5-2, will raise its standing to 6-2.
