IMHO it never was a question about who cancels
Either team should cancel if they feel it is truly a question of safety. However, you don't ever do it without communicating it to the other school first and then making a joint announcement - learning from a peon's social media page is bad form.
This statement was also troubling, a quote from ECU
"The safety and welfare for everyone in the path of this storm is the University's main priority and decisions regarding athletics events are made in the best interest of ensuring the safety of student-athletes, coaches, staff and their families," a release said. "In fact, all ECU athletics teams are prohibited from traveling for competition purposes this weekend. This is also consistent with the NCAA's requirement that member institutions protect the health of and provide a safe environment for student-athletes."
What difference does it make if travel was for competition purposes or not? If it is unsafe to travel it is unsafe to travel. And then they went to Florida.
There were lots of unknowns at the time - may or may not have been right decision. It was definitely wrong protocol on making it.
Then they added the NCSU game - just rubbed salt in the wound.
