The NBA was the first professional sports league in the US to suspend its games and, subsequently, its season. Rudy Gobert, center for Utah Jazz, was confirmed to have the Coronavirus, with other players following suit. This prompted officials to suspend the league until the situation is better- and safer.

In the dying moments of the Quick Lane Bowl, Pittsburgh got the lead after trailing most of the game. With less than a minute left, Eastern Michigan quarterback Mike Glass III lost his composure and threw two punches.
It was third and ten from Eastern Michigan’s 40-yard line. Pittsburgh’s defense pressured Glass to throw the ball carelessly as he ducked from a hit. However, he snapped when he rose and punched Pittsburgh’s Cam Bright.
