“A positive fan experience is a critical part of Bethune-Cookman Athletics and the Wildcats Football program,” the university said in a statement. “It is the mission of our department to ensure Wildcat Nation is provided with the very best amenities, atmosphere, and fan experience as it relates to Bethune-Cookman Football. With this in mind, we have made the difficult decision to return the announced “Tampa Bay Football Classic” to Daytona Municipal Stadium.”
The game is scheduled to start at 3 p.m.
