Miami, Arkansas State agree to settlement ending long court battle

The months-long legal saga between the University of Miami and Arkansas State University is over.

According to this report by Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald, Miami has agreed to pay $400,000 to end the legal interaction between the schools.

Arkansas State sued Miami over the cancellation of the 2017 game between the teams which was set to be played in Jonesboro, AR. Miami canceled the game due to the Hurricane Irma’s impending approach to Miami. At the time, Irma was tracking directly to Miami and the tri-county South Florida area, and was the largest and strongest storm in recorded history to that point.
