Washington State pulls out of 2011 football game with Hawaii


Advertiser Staff

Washington State, Hawaii's football opponent Saturday in Seattle, has said
it will cancel the 2011 meeting between the two schools at Aloha Stadium, UH
announced Monday.

The Cougars will pay $300,000 under the terms of the contract to cancel the
Nov. 26, 2011, game.
It was to have been the third meet of a there-game series. WSU played at
Aloha Stadium last season, a 24-10 UH victory.
UH athletic director Jim Donovan said he received a letter from Washington
State notifying its intent to cancel the game.
“Even though this wasn’t a contract that was done during my tenure,
Washington State has notified us they will comply with the buyout terms so
our job now is to find a replacement game,” Donovan said.
WSU officials were not immediately available for comment.
