Ohio State cancels home-and-home football series with Washington

Ohio State was scheduled to travel to Washington in 2024 before hosting the return game in 2025.

If I remember correctly a few years back, ok maybe a decade plus last time we were good we had them on the schedule as well, in Ohio, they bailed then also, said they will make it up with a reschedule, and they did, they waited till we were bad again before they played us.

So a university's sports team is allowed to cancel a scheduled game just because? I guess I now have more respect for the smaller schools who keep their obligation to play the powerhouse teams even though they know they're in for a very lopsided loss.

play the powerhouse teams even though they know they're in for a very lopsided loss.

And a huge payday.

Any team that calls themselves "The" can eat a D, basically.

Go Dawgs!

 

[Seahawks Guy]

Plot twist: They canceled it because they expect UW to join their conference by then.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I would love to see the Dawgs leave the soon to be Pac 12. Pathetic conference and so unorganized imo.

UW’s big mistake was not leaving after the sanctions in the early 1990’s.
They should have made the PAC-10 the PAC-9, back then.

My Family and I were surprised they didn't. I'm surprised they still haven't found a way to move.

I don’t think they were scared….there’s a good reason for it.

The main reason the smaller schools, like Eastern Washington, play the big boys for the payday as it's two or three times bigger than their largest gate receipt vs. conference opponents. They also like it for the exposure it gives them. I wouldn't feel sorry for them under any circumstances as if they lose, it was expected and not an embarrassment, and if they win, they make national headlines for the upset.

That is just what a fan who knows they are scared would say.

Google says it's because they didn't want the road game. Sounds like they're scared to me.

 

[Hawknballs]

lol that they are scared.

Sounds to me like they just dont want to make a bunch of trips to the west coast with ucla and usc joining the conference.

Lmao. What’s sad is, you probably believe that.

Just repeating what was printed. If it's not true, then what was printed was incorrect.

Why don't you just link the article instead of playing this game?

There’s plenty of articles that explain making trips to the west coast and having an adequate number of home games.

I don’t remember seeing Washington in the CFP. I’m not playing games. I just think it’s ludicrous to say OSU is afraid of Washington…
