Incarnate Word cancels game against Iowa State after making FCS playoffs

Incarnate Word football has opted out of its game against Iowa State on Dec.1. The Cardinals had an opt-out in the contract if it made the FCS playoffs, or if Iowa State made the Big 12 championship game.

“I talked to Eric [Morris] and he is laser-focused on Saturday’s game at Montana State,” UIW athletic director Dr. Brian Wickstrom said. “We want him to be able to stay focused on the FCS Playoffs and making it to the next round, so Iowa State has found another opponent to play on Dec. 1.”
