I understand that you have to take threats seriously these days, but this seems like an over-reaction.

Eastern Kentucky isn't playing at home on Thursday night.
The school has canceled classes for the rest of the week for a graffiti threat that was placed on campus. The game against Tennessee Tech was scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday.
So instead of canceling or postponing the game, it's been moved to Georgetown, Kentucky, and Georgetown College's stadium. Eastern Kentucky is located in Richmond.
The threat, discovered Monday, said "Kill all by 10-8-15 this is Bu Oop." It was written in a bathroom on campus. There's no public indication of who or what "Bu Oop" refers to.
From the Lexington Herald-Leader:
EKU has offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the responsible person or persons.
EKU's fall break had been scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, so classes will not resume until next Wednesday.
Christopher Payton, editor in chief of the student newspaper, Eastern Progress, said Wednesday morning that campus is largely deserted.
"There is no one here, practically," Payton said.
This was scheduled to be EKU's midterm week. The school said the decision to move the game "was made to allow law enforcement to conduct a thorough investigation of the continuing threat and ensure the safety of the campus community."
