Iowa canceled due to COVID difficulties, bringing the Wolverines' season to a close at 2-4. The Michigan football team's game against Iowa on Saturday has been canceled, according to a person with firsthand knowledge of the situation who spoke to the USA TODAY Sports Network shortly before U-M made the announcement. The news comes one day after it was announced that Ohio State would be closing its doors for two weeks due to concerns over the coronavirus spreading through the country. That decision was made after several Buckeyes players and staff tested positive for COVID-19. Ohio State's cancellation came as a shock to many people, including some within the university community. The school had planned to play Indiana at home on Saturday night but will now move that game up to Columbus. Michigan's loss to Iowa was expected given how poorly both teams have performed this year. However, with Ohio State canceling its season, this marks the first time in months that there won't be a major game to follow the Big Ten Championship Game on Dec. 7. There have been more than 100 cases of COVID-19 reported in the United States, with four deaths associated with the virus. On Thursday, President Donald Trump declared a national emergency regarding the virus. Saturday's game was supposed to be played at Michigan Stadium.
