Indiana, Purdue again cancel Old Oaken Bucket game
The Indiana-Purdue rivalry game has been canceled again.
Both schools had to pull out of last week’s regularly scheduled battle for the Old Oaken Bucket because of COVID-19 issues. The game was rescheduled as one of the Big Ten’s championship weekend bonus games, but the seventh-ranked Hoosiers and Boilermakers jointly announced that neither team will be able to play Friday.
It will be the first time the in-state rivals have not met in a football season since the Spanish flu pandemic forced cancellations in 1918 and ’19.
