UM and Arkansas State quietly settled dueling lawsuits this week that stemmed from the Hurricanes canceling a road game against ASU last season because of Hurricane Irma, according to multiple sources.
According to a source, UM will pay ASU $400,000 - well under the $650,000 it would have cost UM in a buyout to cancel the game. UM believed it would have cost close to $400,000 - with legal fees and other costs - had the matter not been resolved, so that’s why UM settled at that amount.
But the settlement does not include any future games between the teams.
