ASU threatens University of Miami with suit if it doesn't pay for canceled football game

Arkansas State University issued an ultimatum Monday morning to the University of Miami: If it doesn't pay for its canceled football game from the 2017 season by Feb. 15, then ASU will file a lawsuit.

In a letter that was shared with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, ASU informed Miami of its demand.

The ASU and Miami athletic departments had signed a contract in May 2013 that stated the Red Wolves would play in Miami during the 2014 season and the Hurricanes would play in Jonesboro during the 2017 season.

The contract stated that if one team did not appear, the other would receive a liquidated damages payment of $650,000 by Feb.
