Colorado QB Cody Hawkins and head coach Dan Hawkins talk during CU’s September 2007 home game against Miami of Ohio, the return leg of the series – scheduled for this fall – is in question.
Daily Camera writer Kyle Ringo investigates the CU football game at Miami (OH) – which it seems like nobody knows the status of, at least not over in MAC-land.
Miami sports information says “ask the Mid American Conference”; the MAC says “the contract is between the schools, not the conference.” And if CU’s sports info department knows anything, they’re not saying.
“As soon as I know, you will know,” CU athletic director Mike Bohn told the Camera.
As if there wasn’t more incentive to try and craft a schedule against competitive teams from, if not BCS conferences, then the larger ones in the country…just like there’s an advantage on the field to playing a tough schedule (the risk-reward pays off), there’s also the advantage of not getting jerked around by small schools looking to juggle pay-days.
The rumor (reported by ESPN) is that Miami (OH) is looking to get out of it’s CU game to play Kentucky in Cincinnati – a bigger stadium and much, much bigger draw for the area. Hopefully it’ll be worth it, because Miami will have to buy out the contract with CU if they want to play that game.
