Apple Cup Lives On: UW and WSU to keep playing through 2028

This year will not be the final Apple Cup rivalry game after all.

The University of Washington and Washington State University announced Sunday that the two schools have agreed to a five-year contract to keep the in-state rivalry football game going.

The status of the Apple Cup was up in the air with UW leaving for the Big Ten after this year and WSU’s conference future uncertain. But now, the two schools will keep playing through 2028.

In 2024, the game will be at a neutral site, Lumen Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks. That contest will be on Sept. 14, 2024, which will be very different than usual as the two teams have typically squared off during college football’s “Rivalry Week” at the end of November.

It shouldn't be subjected to contractual obligations.

Cross state or cross town it is the spice of life in communities. To have this end just because UW left the pac 10 is foolish.

I becamed disappointed years ago in sports and stop following all of it back in the 80's. But I do know how some things such as this are important to the community.
