U. of Utah Cancels Classes for Football Game

The University of Utah will have its debut in the Pac-12 in a home game on Thursday evening, Sept. 1. Fearing transportation difficulties, the university has canceled classes that afternoon and evening. Some faculty members, The Salt Lake Tribune reported, aren't happy. "I don’t like the message it sends," said Jay Jordan, an assistant professor of English. "We are going to use the academic schedule to accommodate football."
