Colorado and Colorado State have agreed, a week ahead of their self-imposed deadline, to continue their football series but the game sites past 2010 remains under discussion.
“This simply addressed the need for a commitment to play prior to Oct. 1 (the deadline in the existing contract), CU athletic director Mike Bohn said. “We have a lot of work to do engaging Denver, Fort Collins Boulder and all the entities involved. I’m not prepared to say it will be in Denver only. We have a lot of groups to visit with.”
CSU counterpart Paul Kowalczyk said, “We’re extremely excited about continuing the series for the good our respective institutions and the state. We look forward to working with the leadership of Denver as we get closer to finalizing the details of the agreement.”
The series has been played continuously since 1995, with every game except 2004 and 2005 played in Denver. The current agreement expires in 2010. The schools previously placed an Oct. 1 deadline to extend the series.
