An expected major winter storm already has some leagues reshuffling games this
week
By The Associated Press
One year after a winter storm forced postponements across U.S. sports, another
major weather system is prompting a reshuffling of games this week and
threatened to wreak havoc on the weekend schedule.
A storm that meteorologists say could rival the damage of a major hurricane is
expected to bring snow, ice and frigid temperatures from New Mexico to New
England starting Friday.
Major League Baseball's Texas Rangers canceled their annual Fan Fest event
scheduled for Saturday due to the weather forecast for frozen precipitation in
North Texas and "in the interest of safety for players, fans, and employees."
The Sun Belt Conference preemptively shook up its women's basketball schedule,
moving around the start times on several games from Thursday through Saturday.
The American Athletic Conference also adjusted its weekend men's and women's
basketball schedules, moving some games up to Friday.
Tennessee's swim meet at Georgia and the USC Upstate women's basketball game at
Longwood were moved up to Friday from Saturday due to the forecast.
