HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) - The final two games of a three-game
football series between Miami and Marshall have been canceled.

Marshall played at Miami in 2007. The agreement called for a
second game in Huntington in 2011 and a third game in Miami in
2012.

Marshall athletic director Bob Marcum gave no reasons for the
cancellation this week. Hurricanes spokesman Mark Pray says the
cancellation was Marshall's decision.

Marshall received a $350,000 guarantee for the first game. The
teams were to exchange $250,000 guarantees for the second and third
games.

Marcum says Marshall is working to replace Miami on the future
schedules.

This is has nothing to do with the topic. I do not understand football, and I am not a fan. I saw the Marshall football team when they got back in town after the Wisconsin game, and they looked very nice, I am talking suit and tie. I told my husband those boys are fly....

This is such an unbelievable decision, there HAS to be more to the story. There HAS to. I'm flabbergsted.

It's time for Bob "Kayo" Marcum to GO!!! TODAY!!! This is inexcusable. First Tennessee, now, Miami. Get out of town!

Why would Marshall cancel this game? This is a huge draw for the community, and a great recruiting tool. There is everything to gain and nothing to lose by playing this game....crazy!

I'm sure Kayo is on the horn with EKU or WV State to fill up Miami's spot.Good Lord...KAYO MUST GO!!!

Most likely because Marshall realizes the direction the Canes are going in and how dominant they will be in 2011. Wimps.

Thanks, Marshall Board of Governors, for allowing Bob Marcum to remain as our athletic director. We all love having a fat, grumpy old fart to make our decisions for us, then lie his butt off after he makes them. Kudos to WSAZ for catching this little rat up in his own game for once. Now, even if the MU Board of Governors won't do anything about it, at least the public knows exactly how this man operates, which is by stubbornly taking the easy way out, and lying about anything that could put him in a bad light. Get him the heck out of there; I'd rather have Lance West again.
