"That's just the way 2021 worked out," Plati said. "There's openings for CSU every year after that. That's one of those where we're going to have to skip a year."
CU still has one nonconference slot available on its schedule that CSU could fill from 2022-2024 if the schools choose to resume series. John Morris, CSU's interim athletic director, said through a school spokesman that he hopes the series will continue.
"It's unfortunate for football fans throughout the region that this rivalry will have to take a one-year hiatus in 2021," Morris said. "CU officials have indicated they have openings to resume the rivalry in 2022. We look forward to working with them to formalize an agreement extending the series as quickly as possible."
