The Colorado State Rams and Sam Houston Bearkats have canceled their future home-and-home football series, FBSchedules.com has learned.
The two programs were originally slated to open the two-game series at Bowers Stadium in Huntsville, Texas, on September 11, 2027, followed by a matchup at Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins, Colo., on September 9, 2028.
According to a copy of a cancellation agreement obtained from Colorado State University via a state open records request, the two schools mutually agreed “…that it is in the best interest of each of them to
cancel both the September 11, 2027 and September 9, 2028 games.”
Records from the original agreement indicated liquidated damages of $1 million per game for a breach of contract. However, the cancellation agreement, executed on October 20, states that CSU will pay SHSU the sum of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000).
For Colorado State, this is the second change to its non-conference schedule next season. Last month, the Rams and Wisconsin Badgers mutually agreed to cancel their 2027 contest in Madison.
Following the cancellations, Colorado State is now down to two non-conference games next season. The Rams are currently scheduled to host Arizona on Sept. 4 and Houston Christian on Sept. 25.
Likewise, Sam Houston now has only two non-league games on the docket for 2027. The Bearkats are slated to visit ULM on Sept. 4 and TCU on Sept. 18.
