This decision is a direct result of the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. IU had a full slate of athletic events scheduled for the weekend. Thursday, the women's soccer team's game against Louisville was postponed indefinitely, as was the men's soccer teams participation in the Butler Classic in Indianapolis. Butler Athletic Director John Parry said that when the games resume, they could function as a way to bring Americans together. "We all recognize that sports is way in the background as far as relevance," Parry said. "But it can also be part of the healing process."
