Shane Beamer jokes that decision to cancel classes over hurricane 'isn't my call'

Shane Beamer would probably cancel classes if he could.

Hurricane Ian is looking like it will be landing very near to Columbia, South Carolina. The Gamecocks have already moved their football game against SC State to Thursday in stead of Saturday in effort to get out in front of the storm, which is projected to be Category 3-4 as of Tuesday afternoon.

Apparently, South Carolina students are trying to see what Beamer can do to cancel classes. He addressed it Tuesday.

Beamer: Jokes that many students are hitting him up to get classes cancelled on Thursday. Says he’s on their side but it isn’t his call.
