They're likely waiting to send out communication until they've either a) confirmed the replacement or b) confirmed that it's cancelled.

^

They put a press release out about the game being cancelled... that, at least, should have gone out to the STH or anyone that bought tickets where they have an email on file. Is it an end of the world thing? Of course not... but it is common sense.

I'm a little surprised they couldn't reach a deal with Brown or CCSU. Both of them were looking for games and as of 1:00 today neither has booked one.
Maybe McCall is being cautious due to the flu situation on the team.

^ well, like yes; would be a questionable call (re flu observation) to play Team Some Body on the morrow.

Just got an Email from the Athletic Dept. Confirms that there will not be a game tomorrow.
Due to COVID-19 related issues within the NJIT program, tomorrow's home contest scheduled for 1:00 p.m. has been cancelled. Those holding tickets should standby for further communication via email from the UMass Athletics Ticket Office.

With the non-conference slate now officially over they can hang up another banner in the Bill. A tremendous accomplishment.

St Joe's had to bail on Holy Cross due to COVID. McCall and Holy Cross's coach are supposed to be best friends so that could have been a game easily put together if the appetite was there. I'm guessing it's just easier to shut it down until after the holidays.

Curious to see if they try and reschedule something for later in the season, be it NJIT or someone else. Or if we'll get a refund/credit for the cancelled game.

Right, I got the same email and saw your post. On top of that communication, I'm curious if this game gets rescheduled to later in the year or is flat out cancelled. The "wait for further communication" leads me to think they are going to try and get another game in at some point this season (be it with NJIT or someone else) as to not have to refund/credit purchased tickets.

^ I was thinking that they would give you a ticket to a future game for each ticket you had for the NJIT game. I would rather have them reschedule a game.

It looks like the only week we have an opening during conference play is the week of Jan 16th. We play Rhody on Sat the 15th, then off for a week before going to St Louis Sunday the 23rd. I have to think that the last thing they want to do is give refunds.

That's possible too, essentially allowing us to flex these tickets to another game. I'd prefer it be rescheduled if possible, a refund, or credit option towards next year. It's not a huge $ amount by any means, so however they handle it I'll be fine with.

Well, well ... an email was sent re: this?
Didn't get one, :shock: , although I was told a few weeks ago that I was added to all athletics email lists...

I guess I need to go buy a bag of coal... :lol:

Latest Email said that no decision on what to do about unused tickets will be made until after the season. They are anticipating more potential schedule changes/interruptions.
