Charlotte-Florida Atlantic football game tentatively rescheduled because of hurricane

The Charlotte 49ers’ Conference USA football game against Florida Atlantic in Boca Raton, Fla., has been moved to Sunday, FAU athletics officials announced Thursday morning.

The game, originally scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Saturday, was tentatively rescheduled for noon Sunday at FAU Stadium.

However, a statement from FAU officials said a final decision on the game’s status will be made once Hurricane Matthew has moved from the area and officials have a chance to assess damage.
