One-time category 5 Hurricane Irma is still stirring up problems for the University of Miami.
Arkansas State University, which was set to play UM on Sept. 9, 2017 in a football game in Jonesboro, Arkansas, before it got canceled because of Hurricane Irma, sent a letter to UM on Monday saying if it does not receive the “liquidated damages’’ fee of $650,000 “on or before February 15, 2018, we will begin the process of filing a lawsuit against the University of Miami in the appropriate Arkansas state court.’’
Feb. 15, this Thursday, is the deadline date for the $650,000 payment, per the original contract that was entered in May 2013.
